The Fletcher condominiums in Linden Hills are being built with a material that carries millions of years of history — Vetter Stone, a dolomitic limestone quarried from deep beneath southern Minnesota. Formed over 300 million years ago and known for its strength and subtle color variations, this limestone has been used in some of the region’s most enduring structures, from Target Field to historic railroad bridges. The stone comes from a fourth-generation family business in Mankato that has been shaping Minnesota architecture for decades, starting with a small monument shop and growing into one of the most respected stone suppliers in the country.
The Fletcher isn’t just another new development. It’s the first condominium project in Minneapolis in several years, and it’s being built with a clear focus on longevity. The building’s name honors one of the longstanding families who originally owned land in Linden Hills, and its construction reflects that same sense of permanence. Instead of fast, disposable construction, The Fletcher uses local materials like Vetter Stone to create a place that will last for generations — grounded in both community and craft.
