Going into 2024, Karin Lucas says she’s excited to see the continued rejuvenation of downtown. This includes everything from where people live to where they eat to where they work. SPS Commerce has brought workers back to downtown two-plus days a week. Lucas also chairs the Minneapolis Downtown Council. She says about 65% of employees downtown are back in the office two to three days per week, with most coming in Tuesday through Thursday. The benefit: “It’s the serendipitous connections that you don’t get if you’re not in the same building together.”
