Shaya Prager’s Minneapolis-area office campus was hit with a fourth foreclosure lawsuit. Iowa-based MidWestOne Bank alleges Prager defaulted on two mortgages totalling $36.8 million, court records show. The loans are tied to the ground lease at 8300 Norman Center Drive, a 13-story office building also known as 8300 Tower. The building is in the five-building Normandale Lake Office Park, which Prager purchased for $366 million in 2022.
