Our goal is to spark investment in the Warehouse District and downtown

The Minneapolis Renaissance Coalition is a community movement that aims to revitalize the city's underutilized buildings and spaces. We believe that by transforming these spaces, we can create a more vibrant and inclusive community in Minneapolis. 

We are a coalition of passionate individuals and organizations dedicated to making a positive impact. Our team consists of community leaders, activists, volunteers, and professionals from various fields who share a common vision. We work tirelessly to promote change and to empower our community to take action and make a difference. 

Join us in our mission to create a better Minneapolis. Together, we can build a brighter future for all. 

The MRC is an unincorporated public/private organization functioning as a 501c6.

MISSION

Our mission is to serve as a catalyst to reimagine investment in downtown Minneapolis' buildings and public spaces.
