Grand & Finn Apartments - (2124 Grand Avenue)
Cullen LLC recently was approved by the city zoning and planning commissions to build a 5-story 20 unit (all 4 bedroom units) near the University of St. Thomas campus. Construction is anticipated to begin sometime this fall.
Re: 2124 Grand Ave
It's been approved, but a one-year development moratorium has been enacted in the "west Grand Ave". From my understanding, Cullen LLC was looking to develop a second similar style building on the same block. Neighbors, as anyone on this forum would have guessed, flipped out.

Re: 2124 Grand Ave
Improve Grand Ave? What a travesty!
Re: 2124 Grand Ave
20 units with 4 bedrooms each = 80 bedrooms. So that could house between 80 to 160 students.
That's kind of a big deal.

Re: 2124 Grand Ave
Is there a limit on number of unrelated persons per dwelling in St Paul like there is in Minneapolis? In Minneapolis you'd only be able to have 5 people in each unit, so 100 students max.

Re: 2124 Grand Ave
I've definitely had 5 in a unit, and the landlord was definitely above the board.

Beat me to it. I had a friend that had to leave a house because he was the sixth (or seventh, or eighth...) in St. Paul...

Re: 2124 Grand Ave
Construction has begun on this project. The two houses that occupied the area have been demolished and work is well underway.

Re: 2124 Grand Ave
Here's a pic from November 18th. Site was totally cleared, with plenty of equipment, but no digging or obvious foundation work. Looks like the 1/2 block of Finn Street just south of Grand may be closed during construction and used for staging.

Those renderings seem to have plopped the building into the middle of a forest with S-Class Mercedes frolicking about.

and also according to that same picture, the newly planted street trees are 30+' while the urban forest in the background appears to be topping out at 120+'. That is some significant shrubbery.
Re: 2124 Grand Ave
Foundation work it starting to pop out of the ground on this one.
