Developing a 21st Century Community

As Ford's former Twin Cities Assembly Plant in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood is redeveloped in the coming years, a 21st Century Community will emerge on the 135 acres of land situated along the Mississippi River.

The vision for the site is a connected, livable, mixed-use neighborhood that looks to the future with clean technologies and high quality design for energy, buildings and infrastructure. This site will be woven into the existing community, and support walking, biking and transit, and provide services, jobs and activities that every generation can enjoy.

The project will feature 55+ acres of parks and open space, retail and office, as well as housing of all types; affordable housing, senior living, apartments, rowhomes, single-family and condos.
