Rosedale Center, a shopping and retail centre located in Roseville, Minnesota, US, is planning to undergo a major expansion.
Announced in September 2019, the expansion includes the redevelopment of a portion of the facility. The redevelopment programme will lead to the creation of additional retail and entertainment area, two new hotels, new housing units and a grocery store.
Professional services company Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is responsible for the management, leasing and marketing of Rosedale Centre. The company is working with the City of Roseville to secure approval for the expansion of the shopping centre.
An environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) was submitted to the City of Roseville in February 2020. It is open for comments from the public until 09 April 2020. The redevelopment project will be implemented in a phased manner and preliminary construction is expected to begin towards the end of 2020. The expansion completion is scheduled for early 2023.
