The University Avenue corridor enjoys a strategic and central location, serving as a vital link between downtown Minneapolis and downtown Saint Paul. Positioned equidistant from both city centers, this corridor facilitates seamless connectivity between the two, making it a bustling hub for commuters, businesses, and residents alike. Its proximity to downtown Minneapolis offers easy access to the city’s corporate headquarters, cultural institutions, and entertainment options, while its proximity to downtown Saint Paul grants quick access to government offices, historic landmarks, and the state Capitol. The University Avenue corridor, with its light-rail transit and well-developed infrastructure, not only comprises the geographical heart of the Twin Cities but also embodies their interconnectedness, fostering a dynamic and diverse urban environment.
The property is situated just within the southern boundary of St. Paul’s quaint Saint Anthony Park neighborhood and in the heart of the dynamic Creative Enterprise Zone, a designation established by the City in 2013 to promote the area as a place for artists, makers and entrepreneurs to live, work and play in. Neighborhood highlights include acclaimed restaurants, breweries, coffee bars, vinyl record and
antique stores, galleries and quirky entertainment options. The Raymond Avenue Green Line Metro station is just steps away, and the nearby Pelham Boulevard protected bikeway offers a direct link to scenic E. Mississippi River Road and Grand Round parkway system.
