Authorization to Designate DC Commercial and JB Vang as development partners, or another entity that is affiliated with and controlled by DC Commercial and JB Vang (“Developer”), as tentative developer of 0 Jackson Street (PIN 192922210112), District 6, Ward 5

Summary

The Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is considering legislation to designate DC Commercial and JB Vang, or an affiliated entity they control, as tentative developers of the HRA-owned, vacant 0 Jackson Street parcel in Ward 5’s North End. The designation would last 24 months, through May 15, 2028, allowing time for environmental review, design, financing, construction estimates, and required approvals. The proposed project would combine the site with nearby properties to create a 1.73-acre development with 60–80 affordable housing units, including 12 supportive units, serving households at 30%, 50%, and 60% of area median income. Final plans remain subject to review. No competing proposals were submitted. Future HRA action would be required for financial assistance and a public hearing before sale.
