What's changing

• United Village at the old Midway Center. Bill McGuire put $170M toward phase one next to Allianz Field: two restaurants (targeted to open mid-2026), an office building and a 158-room hotel set for early 2027. More foot traffic and amenities near Snelling & University, but also more event-day traffic. As of 2026-05 · Sources: mspmag.com, stpaul.gov
• METRO B Line on Selby Avenue. Bus rapid transit along Selby and Marshall to downtown St. Paul and Lake Street in Minneapolis opened June 14, 2025, about 20% faster than the Route 21 it replaced. Good for tenants without cars. As of 2025-06 · Sources: metrotransit.org, startribune.com
• Rethinking I-94. MnDOT is carrying four alternatives (no build, maintenance, reduced freeway, reconfigured freeway) into a Tier 1 environmental study expected to take two to three years. The ReConnect Rondo land bridge is a separate effort; we found planning money for it but no construction funding (estimated at $450M+ in 2021). Treat it as a long shot, not a value driver.
