Development Opportunities for Housing and Light Industry
The Saint Paul Port Authority announced today that properties at The Heights (formerly the Hillcrest Golf Course), zoned for housing and light industry, are officially on the market. Our goal is to secure a master housing developer for the residential portions and then sell light industrial properties to individual users wanting to build on parcels ranging between two and twenty acres.
All development partners will need to work within the parameters of the City of Saint Paul’s Hillcrest Master Plan , which was approved by City Council in June 2022.?
Housing Priorities?
The master housing developer will be selected based on their ability to bring a wide range of housing options to the site, including market rate, affordable, and deeply affordable units. Additional criteria include ownership/rental opportunities, concepts for large families, senior living options, willingness to invest in sustainability features, and the ability to pull together a diverse development team.?
Light Industrial Priorities?
Light industrial buyers will be selected based on their willingness to meet building size and job density requirements, invest in sustainability measures, and bring value to the community through local hiring efforts, living wages, and participation in a curated art mural program led by the Saint Paul Port Authority. Subsidies may be available to qualified buyers willing to enter into a 10-year community benefits agreement.?
