Urban Renaissance
Saint Paul’s business district is experiencing one of its first development booms in decades. With 254 market-rate apartments and a 30,000 sf Lund’s grocery store, The Penfield plays a significant role in the capital city’s larger trend of growth, improvement, and renewed sense of identity.
A New Era
As the city’s first market-rate development in 20 years, The Penfield offers both a modern housing option and much-needed community amenities. The grocery is the first full-size, upscale grocery store in the downtown district, a feature that the city believes will continue to draw residents to the area.
The Penfield’s design also incorporates a community plaza and art park, which is home to an iconic new bronze statue called “The Spirit of the Mississippi” which the resulting design draws inspiration from.
