About the Space

The Historic Grain Exchange is one of the most well-known buildings in the Twin Cities. Finished in 1903, the space features an awe-inspiring 16,000 square foot trading floor that made Minneapolis the milling capital of the world for nearly 100 years. With beautiful original architecture, woodwork, cash tables from the trading days, original phone booths and traders' lounge, and a preserved 40' high trading board, this space is a showstopper!
