Target to anchor Brookings marketplace development
Deal comes after city of Brookings courted Ryan Companies US, Inc. for years
Target will serve as the anchor tenant for the new Brookings Marketplace, city officials announced, marking a major milestone in a retail development that has been years in the making.
The big-box retailer, along with grocery chain Aldi, will be part of the regional shopping center located north of Sixth Street and east of Interstate 29. The development, led by Minneapolis-based Ryan Companies US, Inc., also includes plans for up to two smaller stores on the 18.53-acre site. Construction is expected to begin in the spring and continue into 2026.
“I am extremely proud and excited to make this announcement,” Brookings Mayor Ope Niemeyer said after transaction paperwork was finalized Monday. “The City of Brookings has been working to bring Target here for several years. Patience and collaboration by Council, city leadership, and Ryan Companies has prevailed. I’m looking forward to celebrating the groundbreaking in 2025.”
