 Print Project Description |
This 572,920 gross square foot-344 unit project consists of two similar four story apartment buildings constructed over two enclosed parking garages located below both buildings. Total parking was 444 parking spaces and both garages were constructed of precast concrete components.
Each apartment building has three wings creating internal courtyards which face the nearby river and river’s edge walking trail with views of Harriet Island.
Both apartment buildings were constructed of wood framing, stucco, brick and metal panel facades and flat roofs. Many of the apartments feature an exterior balcony and all courtyard apartments include a private deck facing the landscaped courtyard.
The project was constructed on two parcels purchased from Centex Multi-Family Communities, LP by Prudential Real Estate Investors and C.D. Henderson + North American Partners. In April of 2001 Saint Paul and Centex started the site preparation work necessary to complete demolition of existing buildings, soil compaction using DDC (Deep Dynamic Compaction) methods and provision of streets and utilities prior to development of the various parcels.
In 1999, the City of Saint Paul granted Centex tentative developer status for the Upper Landing area to explore the feasibility of development according to the vision laid out in the 1990’s in the ‘Saint Paul and Mississippi Framework Master Plan’. The project was made possible through grants from the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development and the Metropolitan Council. In recent years Shepard Warner Road (located to the north and connecting to the airport) and the Science Museum (to the east) were added to the immediate area in support of the overall development.
The Riverview at Upper Landing Apartments project was completed in late 2005
GDHarley & Associates represented the equity investor – Prudential Real Estate Investors providing due diligence services and review of the proposed architectural designs prior to the loan closing; during following construction phase we provided monthly construction inspections, review of monthly DRAW Package and project close-out reviews.
