The first floor features a specialty café and art gallery that actively participates in St. Paul’s Spring and Fall Art Crawls, drawing thousands of visitors to the Lowertown Arts District each year. Tenants also enjoy flexible and competitive leasing options, on-site management, and unmatched walkability to Union Depot, CHS Field, the Saint Paul Farmers Market, and key transit connections.
