Regarding the market value & property tax numbers cited below, Phil Handy of this office has provided the following:
1000 Nicollet Mall (Target Headquarters Block, not the Target Store Block): The valuation that Ms. Heller cites, $54,500,000, is only one of three tax parcels that comprise the Target HQ Block. The total 2002 EMV for the block is $167,000,000 and the total real estate taxes paid in 2003 will be $7,062,713. Any decrease in EMV from 2001 was due to over-all reductions in CBD office values by the City Assessor. Target did not file any petitions to reduce valuation, unlike many office tower owners. This project received no public financial assistance. Target Center The valuation that Ms. Heller cites is only the exempt fee interest parcel owned by MCDA. The real estate taxes are paid by the Timberwolves and the Northwest Health Club based on Personal Property Tax Account valuations as leasehold interests. These are assessed just like the regular tax parcels and taxes are paid at the regular C/I rate. The total 2002 EMV for Target Center is $53,960,000 and the total 2003 real estate taxes paid will be $4,999,254.
