EXCELSIOR AND GRAND

The following is from the City's website:
 

Excelsior & Grand

Quentin Ave. & Wolfe Park and Excelsior Blvd. & Monterey Dr.

Excelsior & Grand is St. Louis Park's premier redevelopment project located on the 15-acre Park Commons redevelopment site along Excelsior Boulevard between Monterey Drive and Quentin Avenue. Centered along a 600 ft. town green that connects Excelsior Boulevard to the neighboring 30-acre Wolfe Park, the $160 million project is revitalizing Excelsior Boulevard and creating a community "focal point" or downtown for St. Louis Park.

Parking ramps under buildings help ensure a pedestrian-friendly area that isn't dominated by cars and parking lots. The development has been named "Best Multifamily Project" in the City Business "Best in Real Estate" awards program.

Ground has been broken on the fourth and final phase, known as Phase NW at the northwest corner of Park Commons Drive and Grand Way. The redeveloper, TOLD Development, is constructing a five-story mixed-use building on the site. It will include 96 condominium units and 5,100 square feet of ground floor retail space. The building is expected to be completed by June 2007.

Occupancy of the third phase of the Excelsior & Grand Project (known as Phase E) began in April 2006. Phase E is a single, five-story, mixed-use building located at the northwest corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive. It contains over 14,000-square-foot Trader Joe's grocery store, with four floors of condominiums above, for a total of 86 residential units.
