Pentagon Park tells a different part of Edina's story from the city's residential streets. Its office-park identity, the West 77th Street corridor and the neighboring Fred Richards landscape are now joined by redevelopment that has brought a broader mix of uses into the picture.

For homeowners, this is a place to understand as both a workplace district and a changing part of the city. Its relevance may be a regular trip to an office, a nearby apartment, or the relationship between a home elsewhere in Edina and the destinations around it.

The office district and its next chapter

The City's Pentagon Park redevelopment overview describes a 47-acre tax-increment-financing district established in 2014. West 77th Street divides the privately owned redevelopment land, which is adjacent to Fred Richards Park. This financing district is a project geography, not a substitute for the official neighborhood boundary.

The City identifies Pentagon Village, with retail and commercial buildings, parking and public plaza space, as the first redevelopment component. Its overview also links to new apartments. The area now brings residential development into a place long associated with offices.

The distinction between Pentagon Park, Pentagon Village and an individual development matters when reading a listing or project announcement. Check the named address: a story about one site does not describe every property along the corridor.

A continuing workplace presence on 77th Street

Western National Insurance Group's headquarters is a current example of the employment connection. The City's July 2026 profile places it in Pentagon Park, notes its 77th Street presence since 1970 and describes a new headquarters investment in 2017.

That continuity is part of the district's character. Redevelopment and established workplaces sit within the same local story, giving West 77th Street both continuity and visible change. For a home search tied to a workplace here, the actual 77th Street approach is more informative than a general promise about commuting across the metro.

Fred Richards changes the surrounding landscape

The Fred Richards master plan distinguishes completed entrance-area work from later redevelopment of the former golf-course property. The City's implementation page carries project updates. Planned features should not be confused with open facilities, and construction access can change.

Seen together, the office properties, redevelopment sites and park project explain why Pentagon Park belongs in a broader Edina property search. The setting is evolving in identifiable pieces. A useful visit looks at those pieces from permitted public areas, then considers how they relate to the specific home or workplace that brought you here.
