THE RESULTS ARE IN – Congratulations to the top 3 teams!

  1. University of Wisconsin-Madison | Project: Lafayette Yard
  2. University of Minnesota | Project: Lafayette Square
  3. Marquette University | Project: McNeely Plaza

Student teams researched and pitched redevelopments for the Meritex Freight House in downtown St. Paul. The teams had to address a development plan, construction timeline, budget, pro-forma, leasing plan and schedule, financing plan and market analysis.

Each of these student leaders is about to get their career underway! If you're on the hunt for that next great employee, you can view the teams' proposals and access the resumes of the student participants below.
