 Despite its status as one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, Saint Anthony West is part of the transformation taking place along the river.Developers have discovered Northeast Minneapolis as a prime location for new upscale housing and commercial projects.To balance the new development in other Northeast neighborhoods, St. Anthony West residents in 2004 revived an arrangement with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to reclaim the B.F. Nelson site as a public open space along the Mississippi riverfront.
