Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, September 12, 2026 —

A proposed plan to transform the former Star Tribune printing facility in Minneapolis into a data center has been officially halted. Legacy Investing, the developer behind the project, has terminated its purchase agreement for the property and subsequently withdrawn its land use application.

The decision to drop the redevelopment initiative comes after a period of community discussions regarding the project. The specific details and outcomes of these discussions were not provided.

Legacy Investing’s withdrawal signifies the end of the company’s pursuit of establishing a data center at the site located in Minneapolis. The purchase agreement termination means the company will no longer proceed with acquiring the former printing facility. The developer’s withdrawal of the land use application formally removes the project from consideration by local authorities.

Further information regarding the reasons behind Legacy Investing’s decision to terminate the purchase agreement and withdraw the land use application, beyond the mention of community discussions, was not disclosed. The contractor’s name and any specific outcomes of the community discussions were not provided in the available information. The financial terms of the purchase agreement, if any were finalized, were also not specified.

The former Star Tribune printing facility has been a subject of redevelopment interest. The current status of the property, following the withdrawal of Legacy Investing’s application, is that it remains available. The future plans for the site are now undetermined.
