Central Station Block Development Proposal

Flaherty & Collins (F&C) has been selected as the tentative developer for this unique development opportunity – in the heart of St. Paul’s Central Business District – to develop the 1.66-acre site intersected by the METRO Green Line's Central Station. F&C proposes a high-density development with 300 apartments and 10,000 square feet of ground level retail that looks to maximize the development potential of the site and increase transit ridership. 

Please visit the Central Station Block site for more details and announcements.

Development opportunity sites on Metropolitan Council land

The TOD Office helps to implement the Metropolitan Council's TOD Policy by arranging and facilitating development opportunities on land owned by the Metropolitan Council. The TOD Office completed a development site prioritization process on all properties owned by the Metropolitan Council located within a half-mile of transitways. Through the application of the four Metropolitan Council TOD Policy Goals and coordination with cities and counties along the transitways, top priority sites were identified. Detail maps of each Met Council TOD site can be found here.

Additionally, the TOD Office welcomes all development inquiries and proposals on all sites not identified as high-priority, including locations along the future METRO Blue Line and Green Line extensions, as well as other Metropolitan Council property.​

TOD from the developer’s perspective – it works!

“Ebenezer chose to build TowerLight on Wooddale - Senior Living in its location for a variety of reasons. One major selling point that we love about the area is that the community is so close to the SWLRT Corridor ... We’re excited to be able to incorporate this new, more sustainable way of transportation throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area, and experience the benefits it will bring to our daily lives.”
– Susan Farr, Ebenezer Management Company

“Strong transit-oriented development creates a healthy mix of uses that balance living, working, playing and learning. Mixed-use development requires more planning and risk management, but is essential to leverage public investment in transit infrastructure.”
