## FAQ
### How important is the skyway system?
Material. Skyway-connected trophy product commands a measurable premium over otherwise-comparable street-level Class A — driven by winter commute and amenity-floor connectivity.

### What is the Minneapolis vs. St. Paul market dynamic?
Minneapolis hosts the deeper Class A market; St. Paul is government and education-anchored. Cross-river inventory is largely separate.

### How significant is the North Loop?
Material. North Loop is the principal creative-class repositioning frontier — converted warehouse Class A, deep restaurant and residential base, and growing tech tenancy.
