Meet the people behind the biggest <br /> redevelopment project in Ramsey County <br /> By Sarah Horner I shornerkpioneerpress.com <br /> June 16, 2016 1 UPDATED: 5 days ago <br /> There is a dual vision for the members of the team charged with developing the biggest chunk of <br /> empty land in Ramsey County. It's a vision for the community and it's a vision for their <br /> companies. <br /> They see a once heavily polluted 427-acre ammunition plant being transformed into a premiere <br /> destination to live,work and play. They also see it as an "extraordinary opportunity"to leave a <br /> mark on the area. <br /> Recently selected as the master developer for the Rice Creek Commons site in Arden Hills <br /> formerly the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant Alatus LLC is partnering with Inland <br /> Development Partners and Tradition Development Corp. to build a neighborhood from scratch. <br /> Alatus is expected to bring the multifamily rental housing component, Inland will tackle <br /> commercial development and Tradition Development single-family home and townhouse <br /> construction. <br /> When fully built-out over the next 10 to 15 years, the development is expected to add some <br /> 3,000 residents to the St. Paul suburb, now with a 9,500 population. The plan is to create a <br /> sustainable, walkable community full of housing,retail and good-paying jobs, built around a <br /> network of parks, trails and a"town center." The parcel is at the junction of Interstate 35W and <br /> U.S.10. <br /> "This is one of those sites that is very unique given its proximity to Minneapolis and St. Paul and <br /> so for us as a team to be involved in something so transformative at this stage in our careers is an <br /> extraordinary opportunity," said Tom Shaver, one of the co-founders of Inland Development. <br /> "(We) all want to be able to look back on this and be very proud of what we've done." <br /> MEET THE TEAM <br /> One of the reasons so much is at stake for the companies,particularly Alatus, is that it beat out <br /> two much more experienced local developers Ryan Cos. and Opus Development Co. for <br /> the job. <br /> The people involved in them have deep roots in local development. <br /> Project Status Memo 2 <br />
