Background In July 2015, the City adopted the TCAAP Redevelopment Code and Regulating Plan Map in order to guide the redevelopment of the 427-acre TCAAP site (Planning Case 15-015). The City also approved an amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan at this time to incorporate the goals and policies within the TCAAP Master Plan and to ensure consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the newly adopted zoning for the site. The Joint Development Authority (JDA) selected Alatus, LLC as the Master Developer for the TCAAP property in May 2016. The JDA, which is made up of elected officials from the City and Ramsey County, is the body that will oversee the redevelopment of TCAAP. Alatus is a Minneapolis-based real estate development company focusing on multi-family residential development, and the company has partnered with Tradition Development Corporation (single- family residential) and Inland Development Partners (commercial) to form a Master Development Team for TCAAP.
