to be on the site . “ We ’ re thrilled with that ,” he said . “ It ’ s a great opportunity to attract high paying jobs to Shoreview .”
The third big redevelopment project happening in the City of Shoreview is Rice Street Crossing , which is at the southwest quadrant of Rice Street and 694 . It ’ s an 11-acre site owned by the City of Shoreview that used to be home to Ramsey County ’ s Public Works maintenance facility .
The City has owned the property since 2006 . It was originally purchased for the
future interchange improvements , which are now done . This now allows the City to pursue redevelopment of this vacant brownfield site .
After an extensive request for proposals process , Enclave Companies was selected as the developer .
The City is now working to secure state grants to clean up environmental contamination before turning the site over to developers . The Enclave project will be a 260-to-265-unit apartment building which includes nine live-work units .
To the southeast near the intersection of Victoria Street North and Interstate 694 , what will be known as Seven Lakes is under construction . Scannell Properties is redeveloping the 50-acre former Deluxe corporate campus with two new commercial buildings , each with about 150,000 square feet . Both of the old Deluxe buildings on the site have been torn down in preparation for the redevelopment that will occur .
The City has also approved a second phase of the project that will feature a 150,000 square foot medical / tech building with high end finishes , along with a multifamily apartment building of 200-260 units . “ We are working with Scannell on attracting a number of really quality businesses in the medical and high-tech industries , and expect all three of these buildings to be under construction this year ,” said Simonson .
Once the project is finished , Simonson expects between 1,000 and 1,200 jobs
