Oxbō

Named Oxbō, referencing the u-shaped bend in the Mississippi River as it flows through downtown St. Paul, the development features six stories and 191 units – a combination of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom, townhouse-style residences. High-end amenities, including an outdoor courtyard featuring a pool, hot tub, fire pit and grill areas and a roof-level patio and clubroom with river views, fills a need by bringing luxury living back to downtown St. Paul. The luxury building also features a fitness room and a clubroom with a Speakeasy whiskey lounge. The clubroom, the Speakeasy and other amenity spaces showcase the culture and history of St. Paul and greater Minnesota with artwork and other decorative accents.

From the project’s inception, collaboration with community members and city officials has ensured the development meets the needs of the neighborhood both aesthetically and functionally. The design of the exterior presents a good balance between the modern architecture of the Xcel Energy Center and the historic feel of the Irvine Park neighborhood. Enhancing the neighborhood’s pedestrian activity and commerce, the building features 11,500 square feet of fully leased, ground-level retail space. New Bohemia, a craft beer hall known for its sausages and local beer selection, opened in January 2017.

Through strong collaboration with the city, community members and business leaders, we contributed to the continued growth of downtown St. Paul.
