Opus Group's Proposed 5100 Eden Avenue Office Development Sketch Review
The Opus Group presented a preliminary sketch for a 112,000 sq ft, five-story office building at 5100 Eden Avenue to the Edina City Council. The project aims to incorporate office use, including Opus's headquarters, and potential retail to balance recent residential growth and foster a vibrant mixed-use area. Council members provided non-binding feedback, acknowledging the site's suitability for office development and the benefit of attracting daytime users to local businesses. The proposal would require formal requests for rezoning, variances, a planned unit development, and site plan approval, replacing a previous apartment building plan that received preliminary approval in 2023.
