50th & France Shakeup: Buhl Investors Takes Charge
The developers of Nolan Mains now control nearly a quarter of the commercial space at 50th & France. What will it mean for Edina’s crown jewel?
Should we just start referring to the entire 50th & France shopping district as Nolan Mains?
Buhl Investors, the firm responsible for the new development on the backside of 50th Street that is attracting popular indie boutiques and sought-after new-to-market nationals, has snapped up two other commercial buildings in downtown Edina. With the Carillon building at 3922 W. 50th St. and the Pinehurst Building anchored by Anthropologie at 4999 France Ave. S. in its portfolio, Buhl Investors now controls nearly 100,000 square feet of commercial space at 50th & France—about a quarter of total space available in the retail district (aside from anchors Lunds & Byerlys and U.S. Bank).
