Alatus will help guide the overall residential and commercial development of <br />the site, an area large enough to fit all of downtown Saint Paul with room to spare. <br />Rice Creek Commons is one of the last large-scale redevelopment opportunities in the Twin <br />Cities, with the potential to positively impact Arden Hills, Ramsey County, and the region as <br />whole. We are committed to getting it right and are thrilled to have excellent partners with <br />Alatus, Inland Development Partners, and Tradition Development Corporation. <br />In November 2015, the soil was cleaned to residential standards, and the work is currently in <br />the process of being verified by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) through its <br />Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program and the Environmental Protection Agency <br />(EPA). The site is likely to be delisted from the federal Superfund list in early 2017. Site <br />development could begin as soon as late 2017. <br />Alatus is now negotiating with Ramsey County and the City of Arden Hills on a development <br />agreement for the site, and with Ramsey County on a purchase agreement for the site. Both <br />agreements are expected to be finalized before the end of 2016. <br />Read more: <br />• A big step on a big development at Arden Hills ammo site, Pioneer Press editorial <br />• Building “town center” top priority at TCAAP, Finance & Commerce <br />• Plans in Place for Rice Creek Commons Development Site in Arden Hills, KSTP <br /> Meet the Alatus Arden Hills team <br />Founded in 2005, Alatus LLC is a Minneapolis-based real estate developer dedicated to <br />creating community-minded, quality architecture, and sustainable design for today’s livable <br />landscapes.
