Six Quebec Condos

SIX QUEBEC 601 Marquette Avenue Back in the 1800s when the city was new, just about everyone lived in what is now Downtown. But as local commerce flourished, large commercial buildings replaced single-family houses in the downtown core, and housing moved into surrounding neighborhoods, from Elliot Park to Lowry Hill. Only rooming houses remained within the downtown area, concentrated in the Gateway around Hennepin and Washington, and scattered elsewhere on the periphery of the business district. Especially over the past decade, "downtown housing" has boomed. But this has occurred around the edges of the business center, within easy walking distance, to be sure. But not in the very heart of Downtown, the domain of banks and towering office buildings. That changed with the development of Six Quebec, perched on the roof of the old Minnesota Federal building. This corner is the birthplace of the skyway system, and is now shared by Northstar Center, the Wells Fargo Tower, and the Westin Hotel. For anyone who works long hours in Downtown, Six Quebec offers the shortest possible commute!
