Brick x Mortar is a boutique invitation-only workspace and social lounge with a cultivated environment of like-minded individuals that are doing exceptional things in our community. We are in a freshly renovated historic brownstone designed to feel like your home away from home or a relaxed meeting space away from the office. Memberships are considered a lease for office space where a high-end residential kitchen, bar, formal conference room, and more social open areas for meetings are included in the membership. Additionally, one of the extraordinary features of the space is the only rooftop patio in the Warehouse District of Downtown Minneapolis.https://brxmo.com/
