Overview

The Chanhassen City Hall functions as a central hub for many of the city government's major functions, including serving as offices for many of its departments, including Administration, Building, Communications, Economic Development, Engineering, Finance, Parks & Recreation, Natural Resources, Planning, Public Safety and Surface Water Resources.

The new City Hall opened in 2025, replacing the 44-year-old facility just a few yards away. Designed to better serve residents, it offers modern amenities, energy efficiency and a welcoming atmosphere. Highlights include a glass-fronted lobby, a single service counter for streamlined access to services, and upgraded council chambers with improved seating, lighting and technology for more accessible public meetings.

The building provides open public areas, flexible spaces for events and day-to-day services, and thoughtful details that make it practical, accessible and community-focused. It’s not just a place to handle city business but a destination where residents can gather, connect and feel part of their city.

New features also reflect Chanhassen’s future and resident input: secure underground parking for police vehicles, wider hallways, accessible restrooms and durable materials chosen for both function and timeless design. City Hall is built to serve for decades to come as a landmark shaped by the voices of the community.

The City Council holds council work sessions in the building's Training Room and City Council meetings are held in the council chambers. Boards and Commissions also use the conference rooms and council chambers for their meetings.

A significant portion of the first floor of city hall is the Senior Center. For information about the Senior Center and its offerings, click here.

History

In 2021-2022, a comprehensive Facility Study was completed by Snow Kreilich Architects and Kraus Anderson. The study provided an assessment of the current City Hall facility as well as other municipal buildings throughout the community. The Facility Study also provided an assessment on the overall condition of the building and projected needs. In particular, the study helped the City Council understand the costs of refurbishing or replacing City Hall. City Hall was built in 1981, with significant projects in 1988, 1996, and 2004.

The current City Hall has a Facility Condition Index of 0.32620, which is critical according to this industry standard of measurement. The building is in need of new furnaces, fixes to the ventilation system to control internal humidity, new windows and skylights, a roof replacement, water heaters and water main, elevator repairs, and more. It also needs interior construction such as updated restrooms, flooring, and casework. The total cost to complete these projects, to make the building more efficient for staff, and user-friendly for the public was estimated at $16-18 million. The cost of a new City Hall facility was projected to be $20-24 million.

Building a new City Hall allows the project to not only impact City Hall and Senior Center users, but to create a new community focal point. The new amenities on the Civic Campus will provide entertainment and recreation options for all ages, create vibrancy in the downtown, and encourage additional private investment in downtown Chanhassen.

The planning process to date has included numerous conversations and open houses with residents, the City Council, Boards and Commissions, and city staff.
