Gaviidae Common

Caribou Coffee, the Minneapolis-founded specialty coffee chain whose Minnesota origins give it a commercial identity in the Twin Cities market that Starbucks does not carry at equivalent local resonance, serves the daily café occasion at Gaviidae Common on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the Skyway-connected commercial concourse between the former Neiman Marcus tower and the Westin Minneapolis hotel serves the downtown professional and convention visitor population. FedEx Office, The UPS Store, and AlphaGraphics give the property a business services and professional printing identity for the downtown business district’s daily logistics and document production needs whose Skyway connectivity makes the Gaviidae concourse the most accessible business services cluster in the Nicollet Mall corridor. Potbelly Sandwich Shop gives the property a quick-service sandwich identity for the downtown office worker’s daily lunch occasion.

Starbucks serves the additional café and daily beverage occasion. City Market serves the daily grocery and convenience category. Walgreens serves the pharmacy and personal care category. Edible Arrangements gives the property a gifting and specialty food identity. Gittelson Jewelers and New York Jewelry Co. give the property fine jewelry identities for the downtown office worker’s gifting occasion. FASTSIGNS gives the property a sign and display printing identity. Basil’s Café and The Brothers Deli serve the café and deli categories.

The property’s commercial role in downtown Minneapolis is the Nicollet Mall Skyway commercial concourse: a Caribou Coffee Minnesota-native café anchor whose FedEx-UPS-AlphaGraphics business services floor and Skyway-connected downtown professional catchment give the Minneapolis financial district and Nicollet Mall household a practical daily-services and professional support destination whose co-tenancy of café, business services, and convenience retail reflects the commercial needs of the downtown Skyway office population rather than the destination retail occasion.
