■ 4.3 Corporate Campus/Residential Redevelopment Concept ■ The goal of this redevelopment concept is to provide St. Anthony Village with a strong base of well paying jobs in a multi-building corporate campus facility on the site of the ■ existing Apache Plaza. A new residential neighborhood would also be constructed to the ■ west of the corporate campus facility and be of sufficient scale to offer a variety of new housing choices to existing residents of St. Anthony. ■ The concept includes 500,000 square feet of corporate offices in multiple buildings and 2,000 parking spaces that includes a 5 level parking facility on the east half of the site. The west half would be a residential neighborhood with 406 housing units. The housing in- cludes 150 townhomes, a 100 unit senior high rise, and 156 units of three and four story multi-family housing units. The concept also includes 75,000 square feet of retail devel- ■ opment. ■ The concept shares many underlying characteristics with the purely residential concept. ■ As with the residential concept, a new tree lined boulevard will cross the site and connect the two ends of 3911 Ave. to provide a strong primary entry point into the site. A new road network will be required within the residential portion of the site to allow for interior circu- lation. Suitable access routes must be insured for the corporate campus facility that will not unduly affect the residential portion of the development or neighboring communities. ■ This redevelopment concept also boasts an impressive central park facility which will act as the focal point for both the residential and corporate campus portions of the develop- ■ ment and provide a strong amenity for the entire community. The central park will also ■ serve as a buffer between the office and residential areas. A series of trails, sidewalks and connected open spaces will serve to link the site internally. Sidewalk and trail devel- ■ opment will also be used to strengthen links with the new Hennepin Parks Regional facil- ity on the old Salvation Army site and with surrounding neighborhoods. ■ The development will directly contribute to the improvement of water quality in nearby ■ Silver Lake as the park and open space system will be designed to function as storm water retention and filtration facilities in order to assure that run-off reaching the lake will ■ add to, rather than detract from, the water quality. ■ ■ ■ Corporate a Campus/ ■ j — - Residential i Redevelopment ■ ---_ Concept Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment Plan St. Anthony Village Page 4.4 ■ ■ ■
