Update on Four Seasons Mall

Market study of Four Seasons Mall site in Plymouth to be Spotlighted at May 5 Open House

Plymouth, MN - A market study of the Four Seasons Mall site, located on the northwest quadrant of County Road 9 and Highway 169, will be presented to the public on May 5 at the Plymouth Creek Center, 14800 34th Ave. N. The open house will run from 6 to 9 p.m., offering attendees a chance to hear a presentation highlighting the market study's findings as well as informally talk with city staff and consultants. The presentation will be made at 6 p.m. and repeated at 7:45 p.m.

The market study looks at current demographic and economic trends, the site's strengths and weaknesses and other area development. The study is expected to suggest some potential uses for the Four Seasons Mall site.

Plymouth Community Development Director Steve Juetten emphasized that any potential redevelopment concepts discussed at the open house will be very general. "The concepts will be very rough. They are intended to get people thinking and to solicit some preliminary feedback as we move forward with the overall planning study for the site," he said.

The market study is part of a larger planning study that is also examining storm water and water quality issues, traffic and alternative site redevelopment concepts. The next phase of the study will further flesh out potential redevelopment concepts and develop principles to guide future redevelopment, according to Juetten.

To allow time to conduct the planning study, the Plymouth City Council passed an interim ordinance on Dec. 14, 2010. It prohibits redevelopment of the Four Seasons Mall site for one year.

The City of Plymouth is working with the Bassett Creek Watershed and Hennepin County to conduct the planning study with funding from the Metropolitan Council, a regional planning agency, and Hennepin County.
