STAR TRIBUNE: FOUR SEASONS PRIVATE RESIDENCES MINNEAPOLIS

Peek inside the last available condos at the Four Seasons in downtown Minneapolis

With one-fourth of the units remaining, the condos will be sold as move-in ready. That's a shift from when the earliest residents picked their floor plans and finishes before moving in, said listing agent Cynthia Froid who gave a look inside the newly completed residences.

MSR Design, an award-winning local architecture and interior design firm, created three floor plans in two design palettes for all of the Four Seasons private residences, which take up the 31st to the 36th floors.

One palette, the "Nordic," features white oak and a more calming design that's a nod to our region's Scandinavian heritage. Meanwhile, the "Urban" palette with walnut finishes and herringbone patterned floors evokes a more energizing vibe.

Paul Mellblom, architect/principal at MSR, said high-quality, luxe and locally made materials were key to the design, as was minimizing the carbon footprint.

The available units range from 1,710 to 2,550 square feet with prices ranging roughly from $1.9 million to $3.5 million.

Interior designers GDS Interiors, Vivid Home and FIX Design Haus each furnished a model unit.

In a sleek Nordic one-bedroom, Becca Schwartzbauer of GDS Interiors created spaces with a blend of color and natural tones for a modern minimalist look. Highlights include works from local artists including a poppy, gallery-sized painting from Megan Gonyo and an oval, burl wood table from Timber & Tulip.

"[The painting] really catches the eye and created harmony with the other materials and elements, like the Italian marble coffee table and deep velvets," Schwartzbauer said. "I balanced the space with more neutral tones and more delicate staging … I knew there was no reason to compete against the most stunning views of the city."
