May 8—ROCHESTER — In distance, Café Steam's future shift from One Discovery Square to

Two Discovery Square

adds up to just a demitasse or half a cup, but it will give the coffee shop space to serve two busy downtown centers versus one.

Will Forsman opened his third downtown Café Steam

in the new One Discovery Square center at 202 Fourth St. SW in 2019. It's laid out as a long, hallway-like shop near the entrance of the busy health care complex.

Construction of Two Discovery Square

, One Discovery Square's larger, adjacent sibling, was completed this year. The two buildings are connected by a hallway that starts at the end of Café Steam's shop.

Twin Cities-based M.A. Mortenson Co., the owner of both Discovery Square buildings, is talking to possible future tenants for the building that would like to work with companies that have offices in the original Discovery Square. That would mean people carrying materials from One to Two.

Factoring in that, a plan developed to move the coffee shop into Two Discovery Square, just on the other side of the connecting hallway.

"We will definitely have more seating plus more back-of-the-house space, which is good for preparing our menu and to handle catering for both," said Forsman. "This move will kill birds with one stone."

Construction is expected to start later summer with the goal of moving the shop sometime in the fall.

"We stay open as we are today until the new space is ready. There will be no interruptions," said Forsman.

He expects to expand his staffing in the new location to serve the growing crowd of people working in the two buildings.

The only tenant announced for the 121,000-square-foot Two Discovery Square complex is Mayo Clinic for a "strategic collaboration" with La Jolla, Calif.-based biomanufacturer,

National Resilience Inc.

National Resilience Inc. creates therapies derived from human sources known as biologics — cells, blood, enzymes, tissues, genes or genetically engineered cells — for use in medicines.

"We expect to lease a minimum of 8,000 square feet of space, and we anticipate the space to be on the fourth floor," wrote Senior Mayo Clinic Communications Specialist Susan Buckles in August 2021.
