This is an artist rendering of the Nor-Son Construction building planned for Eden Prairie.
Construction of an office building that would be the Twin Cities corporate home of Nor-Son Construction and Nor-Son Custom Builders was endorsed Monday, Dec. 13, by the Eden Prairie Planning Commission.
The 15,400-square-foot, two-story office building would be located on Market Place Drive but also have frontage on Interstate Highway 494. The company currently has offices in Wayzata and a headquarters in the Brainerd area.
The straightforward project only drew debate from commission members on the subject of using metal on part of the exterior façade. Some members wanted the use of a higher-grade metal cladding that would be less susceptible to warping and buckling over time, but ultimately the commission agreed to OK the plan as presented.
There was no public testimony on the project. Its next step is review by the Eden Prairie City Council.
