808 Berry Place is a 267 -unit apartment building that is part of a larger redevelopment
district located near University Avenue and Highway 280 in Saint Paul, 1l1inn. The two -
block site consisted of run-down industrial buildings and a few homes. Dominium has
completely= redeveloped one block of the site into luxury rental housing, with 30 percent
of the units set aside as affordable rental housing. Wellington Management and Hunt
Associates built luxury for -sale housing on the other block.
Our design concept for 808 Berry= Place is meant to fit within an urban warehouse
redevelopment district. The basic building consists of four wings that form a rectangular
block, with a large courtyard area in the center. All units will have excellent views of the
surrounding cityscape or of the interior courty=ard. The courtyard is highly developed
z�7tln a swimming pool, spa, deck areas, gazebo, arbors, fountains, and extensive
landscaping. The interior common areas feature a fitness center, business center, pool
and amusement room, theater room and a large gathering space overlooking the
courtyard.
The exterior of the buildirng is styled as a warehouse -inspired multi -colored brick block
with lighter -colored stucco and siding on the upper floors. The clubhouse and loft areas
have a mansard treatment clad with a metal roof. The majority of the building is flat -
roofed. Large window areas and a great degree of facade articulation complete the
elevations.
808 Berry Place is located less than half a mile from Tower Hill Park in St. Paul and less
than three-quarters of a mile from the ilrississippi River Parkway. The site's proximity to
University Avenue, State Highway 280, Interstate Highway 94, and Interstate Highway 35
provides easy access to all parts of the metropolitan area.
Residents of 808 Berry Place are able to drive or take a bus to downtown Minneapolis or
downtown St. Paul in 10 minutes and to either the I /linmeapolis or St. Paul campus of the
University of 1\finnesota in less than five minutes.
