What Did These Hopkins Landmarks Used to Be? (Part III)

Hopkins is going through some monumental changes. From apartments rising in the downtown to a growing park in the Blake Road Corridor, the character of the city is changing rapidly.

With the city undergoing so much transformation, Patch invites you to take a look back into the past and see if you can remember what some of the current landmarks used to be.

Here are the answers to yesterday’s questions.

Marketplace & Main

• This $11 million mixed-use development at Mainstreet and Seventh Avenue North used to be the Hopkins Body Shop and used car sales lot. Developers broke ground in July 2011 and Marketplace & Main had its ribbon cutting in November 2012.

Cargill Corporate Campus (Excelsior Crossings)

• The Cargill campus was once the Supervalu North Annex. Opus Northwest bought the property in August 2006 and had the groundbreaking in October of that same year. The first Cargill employees moved into the first building in 2008. The second and third buildings were completed in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

LA Fitness

• A Dodge dealership once occupied the site where LA Fitness now stands. Crews demolished the dealership in August 2007. LA Fitness was completed in January 2009.

The next three sites are:

• Pizza Lucé
• Hopkins Honda
• Supervalu
