A Twin Cities developer is moving in on Boston Scientific’s Minnetonka campus, floating a plan to scrape much of the site and rebuild it as a large industrial complex. The concept, which targets roughly 24 acres in Opus Park around 10700 Bren Road W, arrives as Boston Scientific consolidates into newer facilities elsewhere and turns a once-busy suburban office hub into a redevelopment test case. The filing sets up neighborhood meetings and a formal city review that could significantly change a well-known stretch of Bren Road.
Endeavor's proposal: demolition and a big industrial building
Endeavor Development has laid out a concept plan that spans four adjacent parcels and calls for demolition of the existing buildings in favor of an industrial facility of about 273,000 square feet. The plan was filed with city staff this month and identifies 10700 Bren Road W as the core parcel in the application, according to the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal and community notices.
Why the site is on the market
Boston Scientific put the Minnetonka campus up for sale in 2025 after building and buying new lab and office space in Maple Grove, and local coverage notes the company expects to fully vacate the site by June 2026. Finance & Commerce reported on Boston Scientific’s Maple Grove expansion, while a CBRE property listing posted on LoopNet pegs the Minnetonka parcel at about 24.4 acres and notes that a lease-back is possible through June 2026.
Local market backdrop
The city’s own commercial real estate analysis has not exactly been bullish on older office campuses in Opus Park. A City of Minnetonka study flags the Boston Scientific site as a prime redevelopment candidate in a market where big corporate reshufflings have driven office vacancy higher and left large blocks of space looking for a new purpose. That same study maps out scenarios for how large Opus Park properties might be reused. On the other hand, industrial space in the Twin Cities is still in high demand, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s Q1 2026 industrial market report, which helps explain why an industrial conversion is on the table instead of another round of traditional offices.
What happens next
Endeavor has already hosted a virtual neighborhood meeting, the first public preview of what could come next for the Boston Scientific campus. From here, the concept has to run the city’s full review gauntlet, with planners, commissioners and nearby residents weighing in on traffic, zoning and site design before any demolition equipment shows up. Community notices indicate the developer is seeking a concept-plan review that could lead to preliminary plats or zoning changes, depending on how feedback and staff recommendations shake out, according to Minnetonka Matters.
