Trilogy Real Estate Group, Blake Road Station Update; Elverum
CITY OF HOPKINS
Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Kersten Elverum, Planning & Economic Development Director
Jason Lindahl, City Planner
Date: March 8, 2022
Subject: Trilogy Real Estate Group, Blake Road Station Update
___________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE
Trilogy Real Estate Group will update the City Council on their plans for the second phase
of the Blake Road Station development (Site B) and its environmental cleanup needs. No
action is necessary by the City Council for this item.
INFORMATION
In August 2021, the City Council approved Trilogy Real Estate Group's overall rezoning
and planned unit development (PUD) requests along with the site plan for the first phase
of this development (Site A). Construction on Site A began in December 2021.
Trilogy now seeks site plan review and planned unit development (PUD) amendment
approvals for the second phase of the Blake Road Station development (Site B). The
plans for Site B are generally consistent with the original Blake Road Station master plan
and include a 7-story, mixed-use commercial and residential multiple unit apartment
building located at the northwest corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Blake Road. Plans
for Site B are attached and illustrate a 250-unit building with approximately 10,000 square
feet of commercial space and 339 enclosed parking spaces to serve both the commercial
and residential uses.
Representatives from Trilogy will be at the work session to update the City Council on the
plans for the Blake Road Station development and Site B, including an anticipated request
for environmental cleanup funds.
FUTURE ACTION
The applicant’s site plan and PUD amendment applications are scheduled to go before
the Planning & Zoning Commission on March 22 and City Council on April 5. Trilogy staff
and their consultant team are also scheduled to hold the neighborhood meeting for this
application on March 8 (prior to tonight’s City Council work session).
