About this Location

Overview and Suitability

The Northrup King Parking Lot serves as a primary access point for the historic Northrup King Building, a vibrant hub for arts and local business in Northeast Minneapolis. Please note that the facility is currently undergoing significant renovations from July through September 2025. During this period, the main parking lot is closed to all vehicles and pedestrians. Visitors are advised to utilize the designated East Lot located on Van Buren Street for all guest and Open Studio Saturday parking.

Access and Navigation

The facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles. As it is an outdoor surface lot, there are no height clearance restrictions typical of parking garages; however, visitors should exercise caution during the renovation phase, as traffic patterns and access points on Jackson St NE have been temporarily modified.

Parking Rates and Booking

While the site offers convenient public parking for building tenants and visitors, specific daily rates vary based on event schedules and demand. It is recommended to check the official Northrup King Building digital channels prior to arrival for the most current pricing and to confirm if specific events require pre-booked parking arrangements.

Security and Amenities

The lot provides basic surface parking amenities. As part of the ongoing improvements, stakeholders are committed to maintaining a safe environment for artists and visitors. While the lot is generally well-lit, users are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings when visiting during evening hours for art openings.

Strategic Alternatives

The lot is the premier choice for attendees of Northeast Minneapolis art events, including Open Studio Saturdays. If the facility is at capacity or during the current construction phase, visitors should utilize the auxiliary East Lot on Van Buren Street or seek legal street parking options within the surrounding Arts District.
