Former Chief Theater Building Redevelopment




The marquee on the former Chief Theater building in downtown Red Wing has vanished, and you may be wondering why.


The marquee removal was part of the next phase of life for the long-vacant building.


The project, led by the same developer of the Avanti project, the Hallstrom's building, and former Boxrud's building, will transform the building into a restaurant and gathering space plus three new apartments.


While much of the heritage of the Art Deco building will be preserved or restored in the process, the marquee needed to be removed due to a lack of structural integrity and safety.


The major facelift request went through the Heritage Preservation Commission last December, with the condition that they will get final review of the materials used on the proposed building façade on Bush Street.


There's currently no timeline on when the work will be complete.
