This is a photo of the new C.H. Robinson building that is under construction in a new office/industrial area south of Flying Cloud Airport. The ares is part of the larger Hennepin Village development that also includes multi-family and single family residential development as well. This new building, which is located at the intersection of a new road called Charlson Road and Flying Cloud Drive (also known as T.H. 212), will host some of the C.H. Robinson operations that are currently in our City Center building and perhaps some employees who currently work at the C.H. Robinson building that is at the intersection of Anderson Lakes Parkway & Flying Cloud Drive. The building is built on a ridge line with a beautiful southerly view of the Minnesota River Valley.
Across the street from the new C.H. Robinson building is a new trail corridor that will someday link the trail in the Hennepin Village area to new trails in the Minnesota River Valley through a tunnel under T.H. 212. You can see the tunnel in the photo to the left. Actually, it's not really a tunnel. It is high enough that bicycle riders will feel comfortable riding their bikes through it with no problem. We built this feature into the road renovations in the area that we completed last year. At this point, there's no trail coming out of the other end of this tunnel, but we're working on that project for the future.
