SECTION 5: PLANNING PROJECTS MFRA understands that the COR development is vital to the economic prosperity of the City of Ramsey. Our planners and engineers have been involved with the design and development of the region's most significant development projects and are familiar with the economic impact that they bring to a community. Our most recent relevant projects are listed here:. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS The Shops at West End ......................................... St. Louis Park, MN MFRA provide the site design and engineering for this class "A' urban office and lifestyle center. The Shops at West End is the first phase of a new regional destination mixed-use retail and office development with 375,000 square feet of retail and 33,000 square feet of office space. Open in late 2010, the upscale project has taken off and is currently leased at approximately 70% in spite of the down economy. MFRA's design for the development included upscale streetscaping, site furnishings, banners, lighting, public art and gathering spaces which worked in harmony to create a vibrant and attractive setting. Stones Throw...............................................................................Rogers, MN MFRA provide the planning and engineering design for this 619 -acre master planned community consisting up to 1,361 units of life -cycle housing plus 183 acres of commercial retail, office, industrial and mixed uses with two hundred acres of public open space and 14 miles of trails. While all parties were excited to see this plan come to fruition, the downturn in the economy coupled with delayed implementation of a new interchange with 1-94 has put this project on -hold.
