Noble Investment Group ("Noble"), and Simon®, a global leader in premier shopping, dining, and mixed-use destinations, (NYSE:SPG), announces the opening of the Homewood Suites by Hilton Edina Minneapolis, located in the heart of Edina as part of Southdale Center's mixed-use complex.

The hotel is proximate to the corporate headquarters of major employers such as Best Buy, Dairy Queen, United Health, General Mills, and Regis Corporation, and hospitals, including the renowned Methodist Hospital and Fairview Hospital. The Homewood Suites by Hilton Edina Minneapolis is less than ten miles from downtown Minneapolis and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

"Southdale Center is home to a thriving retail and residential area, and the addition of this stunning hotel will enhance the vibrancy of our city and particularly the vitality of the Southdale District," said Mayor Hovland. "The Edina community is looking forward to welcoming the Homewood Suites."

Shake Shack will debut this fall and popular home furnishing retailer RH opens next year. Future plans include the opening of a three-story Life Time® athletic resort complete with healthy lifestyle programs and entertainment, a rooftop pool and beach club, Life Time Work shared workspaces and a Life Time Sport organized pick-up play complex.

"The opening of this terrific hotel represents the latest phase of our redevelopment of the Southdale mall complex," said Michael E. McCarty, Chief Operating Officer of Simon Malls. "Our 'densification' program has been very successful and we are excited about future development at this historic property."
