Revitalized in 2021, the ‘AMP House Offices’ converted a former Minneapolis electrical substation into a vibrant trio of small business offices. The original substation, built in the early 1900’s, is located on Garfield Avenue amidst a dense urban residential neighborhood and was decommissioned in the 1980’s. Vacant since that time, the neighborhood has affectionately called it the ‘Garfield Aquarium’ after installing large fish murals over the industrial windows. The renovation began with opening up the mezzanine floor by demolishing the floor adjacent to the large windows. The interior shell is largely left untouched to retain the history.

Landkamer Building
The early stages of the renovation and repurpose of the Landkamer Building required design vision, accurate pricing, attention to detail regarding safe demolition and construction processes, and an awareness of the total project scope and cost. As tenants began leasing space in the building, subsequent renovation efforts required close communication with existing tenants to minimize disruption.
The development, construction, repurposing, and leasing efforts were successful. This project started the wave of commercial development in downtown Mankato.
