Contents

The mall is owned by Midtown Square Mall LLC and Brait Capital LLC and anchored by Midtown Fitness and a banquet/event center, Tuscan Center. Midtown Square has space leased by several national chains, including US Bank and Red Wing Shoes, [1] and is also home to various small businesses, such as a local coffee shop and a hair salon. Other businesses that have leased space within Midtown include St. Cloud's Department of Motor Vehicles [2] and University of Minnesota offices. [3]

History

Midtown Square was constructed and completed in 1982, comprising nearly 181,500 square feet (17,000 m2) of retail and office space. [4] In 1985, an outparcel was constructed in the parking lot, adding additional retail space to the mall; the outparcel was occupied by a US Bank location. [5]

Over the years, Midtown Square Mall has been home to several local arts and crafts festivals, in addition to hosting various charitable events. [6] [7] Workforce Center, a business that dealt with unemployed residens of St. Cloud, Minnesota, was a tenant of Midtown Square Mall until the early 2010s when it closed. [4]

An event center located within the mall, called Tuscan Center, opened in April 2013, filling a large vacancy within the mall. [8] The event space expanded their location in late 2015 after receiving approval from the City of St. Cloud; the expansion included another 2,900 square feet (270 m2) of space, plus the addition of a coffee shop and an outdoor patio. [9] [10] The expansion was accompanied by the opening of a restaurant that operates during conventions and business meetings held within the Center. [11] In total, Tuscan Center contains three meeting and banquet rooms of different sizes that can accommodate a total of approximately 425 people. [4]

In March 2016, the St. Cloud school district reached a decision with the City of St. Cloud to relocate their district offices to the mall after a fire destroyed the school's previous headquarters. [12] The school district had already leased space in the mall for alternative learning programs, but leased additional space to accommodate their needs. [13] Other tenants that have taken residence within the mall include Old Country Buffet and St. Cloud's Department of Motor Vehicles offices, [14] although the former business was forced to shutter following its bankruptcy in early 2016. [15] Since the property's opening, their management offices have been located directly inside the mall. [16] As of August 2016, the center contains a total of nine vacancies of the available 58 tenants. [17]
