I imagine the beginning days of Tanek went something like this:
I mean, give me THE Liberty apartments and townhomes designed by Tanek! That’s what Patrick Henry would have said had he the pleasure (pronounced PLAYzhǝr) of moving into this Golden Valley treasure (pronounced TRAYzhǝr). Remember when I wrote about this utopia in 2017? It wasn’t ready for prime-time yet, but now it is!
Tanek created something cool for Unimax – SO COOL, that the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business journal popped their collar, heel-kicked a jukebox, and wrote about it:
German-based Engel & Völkers bring Minnesotans the umlaut, and so much more… Tanek designed a gem right on the edge of downtown Minneapolis.
Tanek worked with Wood From the Hood for their latest chef-d’oeuvre. (That’s fancy-talk for masterpiece.) Roseville is the lucky recipient, and Tanek pulled out all the stops. Yup, they used and reused every available resource, trees were spared or actually used in the restaurant… Ask your bartender or hostess all about it when you visit 2851 Snelling Avenue North!
I hope that winning a prestigious Twin Cities Best in Real Estate award doesn’t change them. The competition was fierce and I heard the award ceremony was like a scene from West Side Story; Nat was, of course, fantastic in his role as Tony. Ken was, well you’ll read all about it in the next issue of Architectural Digest.
