Ware Malcomb provided design services and Graycor Construction Co. serves as general contractor. Completion is expected next spring.
The Lakeville City Council approved the project’s final plans in May 2023. The development also involves the construction of 215th Street—an extension of County Road 70—and 220th Street, as well as Galway Lane, to serve as access drives.

Designed to achieve LEED certification, the facility will have 50-foot clear heights, 70-foot-deep truck docks and up to 34,000 pallet positions. Plans also call for 98 employee parking spots, 61 truck spots and 38 truck dock doors.
Spanning 28 acres, the project will take shape inside the 205-acre Airlake Industrial Park. Interstate 35 is 4 miles away, with downtown Minneapolis roughly 20 miles north. Americold owns a 359,914-square-foot cold storage facility within the same campus.
Minneapolis-St. Paul’s supply pipeline falters
The Minneapolis-St. Paul’s industrial supply pipeline encompassed 3.7 million square feet in the first quarter of this year, according to a Colliers report. The amount marked a decline from the previous quarter, which bolstered 5.8 million square feet, and an even steeper fall year-over-year compared to the 7 million square feet underway in 2023’s first quarter.
Solugen contributed to the current pipeline by breaking ground on a 500,000-square-foot biomanufacturing facility in Marshall, Minn., just last month. The firm specializes in providing low-carbon organic acids used in agriculture, energy, water treatment and personal care. Completion is expected in the fall of 2025.
Minneapolis Police said they found an unexpected passenger in the back of a vehicle, which had crashed.
According to the police, officers were called to a single-vehicle accident in which the driver had reportedly left the crash scene. The driver was later located with a suspected leg injury and taken to the hospital.
While investigating the car, Minneapolis Police said they unexpectedly found a frightened puppy curled up on the back seat floorboard.
The puppy was safely cared for and later reunited with its family.
“We are proud of our officers for serving and protecting—two- and four-legged members of our community alike,” the police department said in a statement.
At this time, it is unknown if the driver of the vehicle is facing any criminal charges related to the crash.
A Christmas Day shooting has left a man hospitalized and fighting for his life in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis Police Sgt. Garrett Parten says it happened at around 6:50 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 17th Avenue South, in the city’s Seward neighborhood.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting and found a man with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Parten says officers provided aid until the man could be taken to a hospital by ambulance.

The investigation remains active.
Minneapolis police are investigating after they say a man suffered “potentially life-threatening injuries” in a stabbing on Thursday morning.
It happened around 4:45 a.m. near Franklin Avenue East and Chicago Avenue. Officers were called there after reports of a bleeding man boarding a Metro Transit bus.
The man was taken to the hospital after receiving medical help from the officers.
According to police, the stabbing did not happen on the bus.
Investigators are looking into what led to the shooting, and say there’s a “possibility that it occurred during an attempted robbery.”
As of Thursday afternoon, no one has been arrested.
