Lakeside Center

Location map

3033 Excelsior Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55416

The Center itself is an office building on the northwest side of Bde Maka Ska. It’s about 5 stories high, with a sailboat sculpture on the top. If you take Lake St. east or west, the entrance is just west of Dean Pkwy., on the south (lake) side of the street. There’s a large parking lot next to the building, and we meet at the yellow square on the map.
