The new Stadium Crossing development at 69th Street and Cliff Avenue in Sioux Falls is coming along nicely, said Zach Jacobsen, a finance broker at Signature Companies, who is developing the project.
Stadium Crossing, across from the University of Sioux Falls Sports Complex and stadium, will feature 258 multi-family units and eight retail/commercial buildings. Construction started earlier this year.
“The development’s really taken off, and we’ve seen a lot of demand for it,” Jacobsen said.
He’s anticipating Stadium Crossing will be at least 90% completed by the end of 2024. Here’s how it’s shaping up so far:

One of the six leased commercial lots, called The Bloc, will soon house Starbucks, Year Round Brown, Gloss Nails and Cookie Co.. The businesses all plan to open at the end of December or early January, pending the completion of construction.
All of the parking lots and access easements for the development are finished, and construction is well underway on the first phase of the housing part of the development, Jacobsen said.
The clubhouse and 110-unit apartment building in the middle of the complex will be done in the spring, as will a second retail plaza with five suites between 11,000-17,000 square feet each. Once that is filled up, they’ll get started on building the next one, which will turn next fall, Jacobsen said.
Another 52 housing units will also turn next fall, and two 48-unit apartment buildings should be completed that winter or in the spring of 2024, he said.
Next to look forward to is the new convenience store and gas station, which will soon break ground along 69th Street.
“There seems to be a need for a c-store over there, so it will be a great spot for it,” Jacobsen said.
The corner lot on 69th and Cliff is the future home of a casual, family-friendly restaurant with a patio. The deal should close in the next couple weeks with the announcement of the restaurant, and the plan is to break ground in November and open in the spring, Jacobsen said.
Signature Co. just closed on another lot, and though he didn’t disclose what the business is, Jacobsen did say it is by local owners.
The two strip malls that aren’t in progress yet will eventually have end caps with drive-thru capabilities. Signature Co. has started marketing them, but Jacobsen said most people like to wait and see the shell before signing a lease. Once the shell is up, it typically takes 10-12 weeks for a buildout, he added.
“With the way the southeast side is growing and it being a hot area, I suspect it won’t take long to fill those up,” he said.

Jacobsen said there are many possibilities for the last two commercial lots, which will be on the east side of the development and are still open for lease. One would be a good spot for a quick-service restaurant with a drive-thru, he said, and the other building could house another restaurant or even a daycare center.
“This is the best layout we could come up with, but these are just preliminary plans,” Jacobsen said. “They can be tweaked as we go, depending on what a business is looking for when they sign the lease.”
Already, he said he’s received many calls on the open units.
“Our goal was to capitalize on the demand for housing while still being able to serve the people in the community,” he said. “And based on the demand we’ve been seeing in 2022, I think Stadium Crossing will accomplish that.”
