Join the New Nicollet Redevelopment project team for an open house March 7 to see design concepts

The City of Minneapolis is planning to update community members on new roadway and public space design concepts for the New Nicollet Redevelopment project. The design concepts will be shared at an open house March 7 at the Abyssinia Cultural Center, 322 W. Lake St.

The City plans to construct Nicollet Avenue between Lake Street and Cecil Newman Lane and develop the remaining site into a high-density, mixed-use, walkable area. The City demolished the former Kmart building in November of 2023. The New Nicollet Redevelopment is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape this south Minneapolis site and bring together the surrounding neighborhoods.

Based on community input, City policies and project goals, the project team has selected recommended concepts for the New Nicollet roadway and public spaces on the site. City staff will present the selections to the community, then take the recommendations to the Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Jacob Frey this spring.

The next phase of the New Nicollet Redevelopment project will focus on the development plan. Community engagement for this phase will start in summer 2024.

New Nicollet Redevelopment open house
Thursday, March 7, 5-7 p.m.
Abyssinia Cultural Center, 322 W. Lake St.
Community members can see the design concepts and talk with staff at this fun, family-friendly event.
