Discussion:
Shakopee has several Low Income Housing Tax Credit development that are either under construction or approved and in the permitting phase including MWF's two building development adjacent to Target and the Willows by CommonBond at Windermere.
The Core Crossing site would be located between the Marcus Theaters and Home Depot. The proposed applicant is a LLC of the Sand Companies. Sand is currently developing the Trio development in the same general area.
The proposed development would be mixed use with commercial on the first floor with residential above. The development's location offers access to employment in the surrounding area including numerous retail locations including Sam's Club, Walmart, Home Depot and service locations such as Kindercare. There are groceries available in the area at Aldi and Walmart. Because of the density of employment in the area, residents would have the opportunity to be able to walk to work.
Directly to the west of the proposed development is Willy McCoy's, which is under construction along with another retail/restaurant pad.
