MN Highway 13 Redevelopment

Our Land Development team was employed to develop concepts for the redevelopment potential of an underutilized brownfield along Highway 13. The location faced a variety of challenges including lack of access, no stormwater infrastructure, parcels were undersized for current market, and proximity to sensitive and unique water resources; all of which needed to be considered as we created development options for the area.

The City of Hopkins purchased two vacant gas stations located at the same intersection. Both sites were blighted and had several environmental components that were prohibiting development activity. Hopkins purchased the sites and began efforts to clean the sites to make them more attractive to potential developers.
