Take a step back in time and imagine life in 1905 when the River Park Lofts building was new. A mere two years earlier, Orville and Wilbur Wright took the worlds first successful airplane flight. Nine million immigrants entered the United States in the first decade alone. Einstein introduced the theory of relativity, income taxes were created in 1913, and both world wars came and went.
Now, this seven-story turn-of-the century office/warehouse building and attached retired firehouse are becoming "new" once again. River Park Lofts, located in Downtown St. Paul, consists of 119 authentic condominium homes. The renovation is a true loft conversion meaning that each unit has exposed concrete floors, exposed heavy timber ceilings, exposed brick walls, and exposed HVAC duct work. Each unit will also possess at least one partially enclosed bedroom and bathroom with the balance of the space being of an open environment.
The main building is of heavy timber construction with a light brown brick veneer. Cast iron columns are used in the lower three floors and basement. Wood columns occur from the 4th floor through the 7th floor. The attached retired firehouse is of brick and timber construction. The two-story structure was built in 1921 used by the city of St. Paul Fire Department until 1971.
Although River Park Lofts is over 60 percent sold, a wide variety of condominiums, each with a unique floor plan, are available for immediate occupancy. Join us as we bring yesterday's past into tomorrow's future at River Park Lofts. |
