Rail Yard
Redevelopment
Plan
RDG prepared a redevelopment plan for 10.25 acres of land owned by the City of Sioux Falls, which was acquired from the BNSF Railway in 2015.
This plot of land will expand urban development to the east side of downtown. Phase One (2016) included review of existing plans and conditions, stakeholder group sessions, three preliminary concepts, public input sessions, market analysis, a final concept plan and a final presentation to City Council. In Phases Two and Three (2017), the City and RDG worked together to create redevelopment proposal selection criteria and to solicit and select proposals for the Rail Yard Redevelopment area and then interviewed potential developers. Ground was broken in 2019 for the first project(s).
