ST. PAUL, MN-Neither floods nor the state Legislature could keep construction from starting on one of the most ambitious residential projects in city history. Last spring, development of one of the largest housing projects in city history had to wait until the floodwaters of the Mississippi River subsided.

The Upper Landing, the $160-million-plus multi-use project on the north bank of Mississippi River, was submerged in water as the river recently crested at more than 23feet, 10 feet higher than flood stage.

Centex, the Dallas-based developer, showed off designs on how its project will handle a 500-year flood. The measures include a levee and raising the elevation of the ground. The project includes from 580 to 600 units of housing and 23,000 sf of commercial space.
