Our Success

LSE provided full design, architecture, and interior design services for NEON Collective Kitchens. NEON empowers food entrepreneurs in North Minneapolis by giving them the resources they need to grow their businesses. The facility was officially turned over to NEON on January 16, 2026, and will be opening to the community soon.

Partnering with transformational organizations like NEON allows us to help elevate entrepreneurs and both nonprofit and for‑profit organizations to new levels of vision and execution. This work strengthens economic equity and opportunity while creating a vibrant community gathering space.
