Development framework

We provide a framework for property uses and buildings on the New Nicollet site.

Details

The Development Framework shows the vision for how the New Nicollet site should look and work. It includes ideas from the community gathered in Phases I, II, and III. The Framework explains how we will move forward with building on the New Nicollet site. 

Framework includes: 

  • Guidelines for building uses 
  • Research on what type of businesses and homes are needed 
  • Plans to help people stay in the community and build wealth 
  • Steps for putting the plan into action over time 
  • Summary of what the community thinks and wants 

Development framework

The final Framework reflects what we heard from the community. The City Council and Mayor approved it in May 2025.

Development scenario and reach elements

In fall 2024, we asked the community to tell us what was most important to include in future buildings on the site.
