A KSTP crew at the scene reported the fire was burning near the Xcel Energy Center. The development site on fire was the Seven Corners Gateway site, which was to include hotel rooms and housing. Kaeding Development Group was leading the project.
Large flames could be seen around 4:30 a.m., the crew reported.
The glow from the fire filled the city's skyline and could be seen for miles.

- Eastbound I-94 to Fifth Street
- Eastbound I-94 to 10th Street
- Northbound I-35E to Grand Avenue
