Property Description

A conversation has recently emerged regarding the potential for self-storage development on this 2.7-acre parcel in Saint Paul's North End neighborhood. While the site is currently pre-approved for multi-family residential use, including a 50-unit apartment complex or a senior housing project with over 90 units, the success of other self-storage facilities in the area has prompted consideration of alternative uses. The property encompasses 17 city lots and is zoned RM2 (Medium Density Residential), with variances already granted for parking, wetland use, and setbacks?factors that could streamline a change in use or zoning if pursued. Prior approvals, permits, and completed soil and wetland studies add to the site's readiness for development. The preserved wetland area offers a unique opportunity to integrate natural features into a self-storage design, enhancing appeal and potentially aligning with community or city planning goals. Its close proximity to downtown Saint Paul, public transportation, and major corridors further supports the viability of a self-storage facility on this site.
