Merchant & Gould moved from IDS Center into its new space in the Fifth Street Towers complex in downtown Minneapolis. The two-floor office offers views of the downtown Minneapolis skyline, but also an opportunity to reduce the firm’s environmental footprint, promote collaborative work and become more technologically advanced. Additionally, offices have plenty of glass and windows that allow natural light to flow in. Instead of corner offices, Merchant & Gould's office has collaborative workspaces.
