Progress & Industry: Developer announces plans for Brandon 90 Plaza

Fifty acres of land in a flood plain zone along Interstate 90 was announced will be transformed into 26.7 acres of commercial development, along with 17 acres that will be dedicated to a public use lake.

In November, Sioux Falls developer Darrel Viereck announced his investment group, Brandon Plaza 90 LLC, closed on the 50-acre property and this spring expects to begin groundwork preparations.

Viereck said discussions are taking place to bring an upscale six- to eight-screen movie theatre and arcade, fast food restaurant(s), a bank, hotel, convenience store(s), grocery store and possible community/event center to the development.

And there’s room for more, he said.

“I’ve got to believe that there’s going to be $50 million-plus tax base in there,” Viereck said. “Let me put it this way, if everybody that we’ve been talking to goes forward, we’re not going to have enough room for everybody in there. We can probably only handle three big users, and the big users we’re talking to could probably fit.”
