About the Upper Harbor Terminal Redevelopment Project


The Upper Harbor Terminal Redevelopment Project (UHT) is a 48-acre redevelopment project along one-mile of riverfront in Minneapolis’ McKinley neighborhood. The one-mile stretch of River is the largest riverfront redevelopment opportunity in Minneapolis’ history. The Development Concept Plan which received approval from the Minneapolis City Council in early 2019 consists of 19.5 acres of park space including a north-south road to function as a parkway, almost 5.0 acres of public destination amenity areas to include an outdoor music performance venue, and approximately 17.0 acres of development parcels for a mix of uses including housing, hospitality, office, and commercial.


NEOO Development Leadership is responsible in for leading the creation of Phase I of the Redevelopment plan in close partnership with First Avenue Productions, and United Properties. The project’s Phase I component received over $30M of State bonding and Local matches to support the redevelopment of the site.
