Flagpoles in Bloomington

Less a suburb than a second downtown: office towers along Interstate 494, the Mall of America at the top of the city, and a daytime population far larger than the resident one. We cover Bloomington and the Hennepin County area, including the Normandale Lake office towers, the I-494 strip, the South Loop and the Mall of America district, Bloomington Central Station, Old Shakopee Road and the Minnesota River bluff above the wildlife refuge.

Wind here. Bloomington sits in an open suburban and deceptively exposed area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. The 494 strip and the South Loop are hotel and conference country, so a good share of what we quote here is a pole read across a forecourt and a car park. The office parks look sheltered and are not. Normandale Lake and the buildings along the 494 frontage stand well back behind open lawn and parking, which gives you exposed ground at the base and tower channelling above it at once. The southern edge of the city sits on the bluff over the Minnesota River valley and the wildlife refuge, with a mile of open valley in front of it, and those addresses are read as open country rather than suburb. Hennepin is a Zone II county, so the frost footing is the standard 3 ft 6 in and the ground across most of Bloomington is workable. The foundation is rarely the surprise on a quote here.

Most of the people who call us from Bloomington are hotels and conference properties, office park landlords, corporate headquarters, medical and dental offices, schools, churches, car dealerships and community associations.
