Notable Project Experience

Koch Mobil/Victoria Park Development - St. Paul, MN
Loucks Associates provided acquisition surveys, title surveys, planning maps and land subdivisions for this 60-acre urban redevelopment of former petroleum tank farms into 700 units of housing.

City of St. Paul Real Estate and Bridge Departments - St. Paul, MN
Loucks Associates completed a survey of the alignment and parcel acquisitions for the new Wabasha Street Bridge over the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul. We reviewed title materials on underlying parcels and field surveys to create legal descriptions and maps for parcel acquisitions, easement rights and center line alignment of the bridge. Historic research into railroad ownership succession was necessary to trace which railroads controlled which land under the bridge. Loucks Associates coordinated these eff orts with the City Real Estate Department, City bridge design personnel and the land owners.

We coordinated in-house land surveying services including topography location, centerline alignments, title insurance surveys subdivision platting and boundary surveys. The project construction was estimated at $1.5 million.

S.T.H. No. 156 Right-of-Way - South St. Paul, MN
In order to redevelop their riverfront property into a modern industrial park, the City of South St. Paul worked with Mn/DOT to develop S.T.H. No. 156 through the former railroad yards. Paul McGinley worked extensively with Mn/DOTs district office in establishing and clarifying the position of the rights-of-way through the area. This required detailed research into old land corners, railroad rights-of-way, state highway rights-of-way and utility installations nearly 100 years old.
