New Business

The City hosted a ribbon cutting for three new businesses in the Rosemount Business Park. The new 18,000 square foot Stordahl Building welcomed Valley Natural Foods, Epic Wraps, and TunePlus. This is the 1st of eight planned spec industrial facilities developed by Appro Developemnt and Cerron Properties.

New Development

It was a busy fall for project approval and construction in Rosemount. The Rosemount City Council has prioritized strategic growth for several years due to the amount of available land, proximity in the Metro area, and increasing population. Last month, the Rosemount City Council approved a development agreement for project Osprey, a large warehouse and distribution center to break ground in Rosemount. Seefried Industrial Properties has recently begun work on a 70-acre parcel in the Rosemount Business Park to build a 417,600 square foot distribution facility for The Home Depot. The announcement comes during a flurry of development activity in Rosemount. The Rosemount City Council approved Scannell Properties' 548,000-square-foot distribution center with warehouse and office space on the Rich Valley Golf Course site. Currently, plans are underway for a 1,900-unit residential buildout on the former UMore property, a restaurant called the Tap Society will be building in downtown Rosemount, North 20 Brewing started moving dirt on their new brewery, and OMNI Brewing Group has been approved to build a winery and tasting room.

Permit Activity

This year Rosemount has continued to build housing at a fast clip. As of October, permits for 251 units of housing have been pulled, an increase of 31 units from October 2020. Rosemount is on track to meet or exceed last year's record number of total housing units. Additionally, Rosemount continues to grow quickly compared to other Twin Cities suburbs. In September, the City had the 3rd highest number of residential permits.
