Abstract/Contents

Abstract: The Bridges of Saint Paul is a $1.5 billion development project proposed for the City of Saint Paul by the JLT Group, Inc. The Bridges project is a multi-use development consisting of office and retail space, condominiums, lodging, public space, and entertainment options. The project’s diverse offerings and large size have led to predictions of widespread and large impacts on the Twin Cities region. In considering the project, however, the City of Saint Paul made no attempt to weigh and consider interests in a systematic way. This study offers a method to weigh competing effects through a cost-benefit analysis. The analysis provides policy-makers in the city with a blueprint for consideration of future urban development projects for the proposed site and the Twin Cities region.
