Address: Hwy. 169 northeast of Rush Creek Regional Trail
Type: Industrial
Size: 400,000 square feet
Developer: Scannell Properties
Architect: Pope Architects
Details: Scannell Properties is preparing to break ground on the first phase of its long-planned NorthPark Business Center north of Hwy. 610 in Brooklyn Park.
The Indianapolis-based developer last month received final approval for the first construction on the 227-acre property since plans for a multitenant industrial park were floated in 2014. The plan calls for two speculative office/warehouse buildings totaling 400,000 square feet. The site was considered and rejected for a FedEx distribution center that eventually went to Rogers, Minn.
Brooklyn Park Planning Director Cindy Sherman said Scannell will begin construction almost immediately. Floor plans indicate each of the 200,000-square-foot buildings will be sub-dividable into six tenant spaces, including two end spaces of 40,000 square feet and four interior units of 30,000 square feet.
