BROOKLYN PARK, MN-Kraus Anderson Realty Co. will build smaller service retail and medical office projects where the 52%-vacant Village North Shopping Center now stands as part of the city's development on Shingle Creek.

BROOKLYN PARK, MN-Kraus-Anderson Realty Co. is working on plans to redevelop its Village North Shopping Center as part of a larger project underway by the city. At present, the 168,480-sf shopping center is 52% vacant, says Cynthia Hable, director of properties at Kraus-Anderson.

Developers and city officials believe the shopping center would perform better with less space devoted to retail and more devoted to commercial and residential uses.

The city is planning to guide $160 million in new development in the area along Shingle Creek that would include town-house development built by Minneapolis-based Hunt Gregory, a new YMCA, as well as converting some buildings to other uses. Brooklyn Park plans to buy land, upgrade streetsand utilities and improve Shingle Creek by creating walking paths along it as well as improving the waterway.
