About the Project
Verdant Apartments is a five-story, wood-framed, 82-unit affordable multi-family housing project in the West Side Flats neighborhood of St. Paul, near the Mississippi River.
This project utilizes modern multi-family architecture, including a concrete and masonry underground parking garage on the lowest level with 72 covered parking stalls. The parking garage’s footprint is larger than the residential building above, creating an outdoor plaza space that is used for a tot lot and two accessible surface parking stalls.
As a result of the developer’s partnership with the City of St. Paul, the project took on the ambitious goal of becoming only the second multi-family building in Minnesota to achieve the Phius (Passive House Institute US) certification.
