4401 76th Street West- Edina Community Health and Safety Center (Fire Station 2)
Sketch Plan proposal to redevelop the eight-acre site at 4401 76th Street West. The existing 102,031 square foot building would be removed. The main purpose of the redevelopment of this site, is for the City of Edina to construct a new 36,000 Community Health and Safety Center. The building will provide operational space for the Edina Fire Department and Community Health Department. This facility would be located on the northern third of the site, with the remaining two-thirds of the site available for redevelopment that could include housing, retail, and public space. Trace Jacques of the BKV Group has designed a couple of development scenarios for consideration consider. The scenarios were created based on the Southdale Design Experience Guidelines.
This sketch plan will was considered by the Planning Commission on March 15, 2023 and by the City Council on March 21, 2023.
The Council’s sketch plan review of the new Community Health and Safety Center (Fire Station 2) is significant because it completes the pre-design phase of the project. The next stage of the project is for the architects and other professionals to prepare detailed plans for both the building and site. The project is moving ahead on schedule. We expect the building and site plans to be completed by late 2023 and for demolition of the existing building on the site to start before the end of the year as well. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2024. Move-in to the new building is expected by late summer 2025.
