Saint Paul May Never Be The Same Again

Saint Paul has this reputation for being the quieter, more conservative, more boring half of the Twin Cities. The unofficial city slogan is literally "Keep Saint Paul Boring." But if you actually look at what's happening on the ground right now, there's billions of dollars in development reshaping huge parts of the city, and if even half of it lands the way it's planned, Saint Paul is going to look almost nothing like it does today within the next decade. In this video I'm walking through the three biggest transformations underway: Highland Bridge (the 122 acre redevelopment of the old Ford plant in Highland Park), the Allianz Field District at Snelling and University (Bill McGuire's 15 minute city vision around the Minnesota United stadium), and the massive billion dollar push to finally make downtown Saint Paul and its riverfront something people actually want to live in and visit. We're getting into the wins, the delays, the rent control fight that paused construction, the Reddit and neighborhood pushback on density, the lawsuits, and the projects still on paper. All B-roll in this video was shot by our team specifically for this video. Recent footage, real progress, no stock.
