The South Metro Development Report is coming.
Every sizable project that comes before a South Metro planning commission or city council — commercial, residential, and industrial — tracked from first proposal to opening day, in one briefing on the first of the month. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when the first issue drops.
No charge and no commitment — just an early heads-up when it launches.
What's in every issue
Not a headline roundup — a working reference you can act on.
Every sizable project
Commercial, residential, and industrial developments moving through South Metro planning commissions and city councils — the ones that actually reshape the area.
Status changes that matter
What moved from proposed to approved, what just broke ground, and what quietly opened — so you know the moment a deal becomes real.
The details you actually need
Developer, square footage or unit count, exact location, timeline, and the vote — not just a headline.
Links to the source
Straight to the agendas, staff reports, and our live interactive map so you can dig in yourself.
Who it's for
Builders & real estate
Developers, brokers, contractors, and lenders who need to see what land is moving and who is behind it — before it hits the news.
Business owners & investors
Site selectors, franchisees, and local investors watching where rooftops, jobs, and traffic are headed next.
Civic enthusiasts
Residents, council-watchers, and neighborhood leaders who want the full picture of what is being built around them.
Launch pricing
When it goes live August 1, it'll be $20/month or $200 for 12 months (two months free). Waitlist members hear first.
Questions
When does it launch?+
The first issue publishes August 1, 2026. Join the waitlist now and we’ll email you the moment it goes live so you can subscribe.
How often does it come out?+
Once a month, delivered by email on the first of the month. Each issue covers everything that moved through South Metro city halls the prior month.
Which cities does it cover?+
The Dakota and Scott county South Metro — Lakeville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, Burnsville, Farmington, Eagan, Shakopee, Prior Lake, Hastings, and Savage.
What will it cost?+
Launch pricing is $20/month, or $200 for 12 months (two months free). Joining the waitlist is free and does not commit you to anything.
What counts as a “sizable” project?+
Anything that meaningfully changes the area: new commercial buildings, apartment and housing developments, industrial and data-center projects, and major public projects. Many are included as early as when they first appear before a local planning commission — before they’re approved or built — so you see what’s coming as early as possible.
How is this different from your free newsletter?+
The free Scoop covers local news broadly. The Development Report is a focused, comprehensive tracker built for people who need every project in one place — the kind of coverage that is worth paying for.
