Join Tony Barranco, Bill Katter, and Tom Shaver for breakfast, as Murray Kornberg moderates a conversation on three active, high-profile and large-scale area developments: the Ford Site, Gateway and Rice Creek Commons.

Each have followed a comprehensive approach in collecting input and utilizing partnerships to ensure attention to market needs and in incorporating housing, communities, jobs, services, transportation and more.

SAINT PAUL’S FORD SITE

Tony Barranco, Senior Vice President of Real Estate Development at Ryan Companies, will detail Saint Paul’s Ford Site, the 122-acre development situated along the Mississippi River. The vision is a connected, livable, mixed-use neighborhood with clean technologies and high-quality design for energy, buildings and infrastructure. The redeveloped site will support walking, biking and transit, and provide services, jobs and activities.

GATEWAY TO MINNEAPOLIS

Bill Katter, President and Chief Investment Officer at United Properties, will detail Gateway to Minneapolis as work gets underway downtown at Third Street and Nicollet Avenue. This 34-story world-class mixed-use project will anchor Nicollet Mall’s north end.
