Get a look at the latest plans for the future downtown of Richfield.
The redevelopment of the former Lyndale Garden Center site is getting closer and closer to reality. While site developer The Cornerstone Group hasn't locked down all retail tenants or finalized the housing portion of the project, it has released the most recent renderings of what the site—which will be aptly named Lyndale Gardens—could look like.
