A Great History…

South Saint Paul Minnesota was once a bounty for the Mdewaunkanton Sioux. But time changes and so the bounty.

Here, time was driven on the hooves of cattle by drovers, ramrods and settlers. Over the years, our community grew and earned a reputation as home to proud and rugged individuals. People dead set on prosperity.

Today you can still feel those historic roots, you can sense the opportunity and see the character in every part of BridgePoint, the most exciting developing business park here in the upper Midwest.

But make no mistake. Despite the rich past, this is no ‘museum’ community. It’s as vibrant and stubbornly set on prosperity for its members today as it ever was in the past. Here, smiles come easily, handshakes are firm, buildings and business relationships are built to last.

You see, a community weaned on rawhide and frontier life learns what it takes for its businesses to succeed. That’s what we work a little harder for and offer more to any business with a mind to join us.

A Greater Tomorrow

Any company that considers South Saint Paul soon finds that here they’re never in business alone. Every program we offer, every benefit we provide has been designed to help businesses succeed and individuals enjoy a better life.

Here you’ll find programs to help businesses with location selection, expansion and relocation services. We’ll even provide you with business programs in the areas of planning, marketing, growth and management services.

Those are things you won’t find in many business communities. But you’ll find an abundance of them here. And you’ll find something more. You’ll discover that we’re more than ready to do everything possible to help you successfully bridge the gap to a greater, more prosperous tomorrow.

Get Down to Business

If you’re thinking about relocating or expanding your business, there’s a place that’s worth a good look. A place that offers everything that a growing business could want. A community that’s building a bright tomorrow on the foundation of a successful past. The next time you cross the Mississippi on the Interstate 494 bridge, take time to exit and get down to business. You’ll see BridgePoint, one of the metro area’s newest business development parks. Once you see it you’ll also find that opportunity has always been waiting right here, right before your eyes.

Places

BridgePoint Business Park
This is considered by many as the prime commercial real estate in the greater metro area. This business park is located immediately off Interstate 494 and minutes away from three airports. The 100 acre site located on the Mississippi has rail and barge access. The park is now home to a variety of light industrial businesses. Only a few acres remain in this prime location.
