A Singapore-based investment company has set its sights on Dickinson for its next project, a high-end, 280-acre residential and retail development slated for construction in 2015.
Barons Group of Companies released conceptual plans earlier this week for Barons Vista, billed as a “retail garden mall and community lifestyle development” on the south side of Interstate 94 Exit 59. It would be situated between the Dickinson Hills Shopping Center and West Ridge developments.
The ambitious design includes up to 700 housing units, an indoor mall, hotel, amphitheatre, a family friendly park and a 15-story tower to act as a “lighthouse to travelers arriving in Dickinson,” which, once completed, would be tallest building in North Dakota.The only thing missing would be putting the Obama Presidential Library here.
I particularly like the "family friendly park" as opposed to a "family unfriendly park."
It will be interesting to see if the city approves the concept. LOL. A "lighthouse" beaconing and beaconing" Americans to visit the Bakken is exactly what the city needs. LOL.
Be sure to visit the link to see the artist's drawing of the proposed "lighthouse."
I'm not sure what tag to use to track this story. Staggering?
Later in the story:
He said the company might continue building around the area, with talks of a hotel-adjacent restaurant and convenience store.I'm thinking maybe in Grassy Butte, north of Belfield.

Afternoon Tea
Lemon poppy bread and honey from the Grapevine (Texas) Farmers' Market. Rose tea -- one of the best teas I've ever had -- from the Grapevine Tea and Spice Exchange on Main Street. The chocolate cake? Olivia won it at "playing" the "Cake Walk" at their school's "Spring Fling" last night.
