According to Hennepin County property records, the four blocks covered by the Ryan agreement have a value for taxation of about $18 million. The fifth parcel owned by the newspaper across from the light-rail station that is slated to be part of the stadium development is valued at about $3.3 million for tax purposes. The Star Tribune has confirmed that the land is for sale. Last spring, the newspaper hired Russ Nelson, a broker with Minneapolis-based Nelson, Tietz & Hoye, to handle real estate dealings regarding the downtown land.
