ST. PAUL, MN-A large US Bancorp office development under construction on the south side of the Mississippi River will be the first to be heated with hot water delivered from District Energy in St. Paul, the largest hot water district heating system in North America. The bank’s $79-million West Side Flats project, across the Mississippi River from Downtown St. Paul, recently began its first phase that includes a 150,000-sf office building and 1,440-vehicle five level parking ramp, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2002.

A 200,000-sf building is scheduled for completion about one year after the first phase in done. Apedestrian tunnel will connect the lobby for the two buildings and parking ramp.

The district heating program has been restricted to the north, or Downtown side, of the Mississippi River during its 18-year history. District Energy in St. Paul, an independent, non-profit program, received national attention when President George W. Bush visited the plant in May to unveil his administration’s energy policies.
