225 9th St E

A converted early-20th-century loft building in downtown Saint Paul, originally constructed in 1910 and remodeled into residential condominiums. The property rises only a few stories and contains predominantly one- and two-bedroom loft units arranged as single-level and duplex layouts. Architecturally the blocky industrial envelope preserves heavy masonry, stone detailing and expansive multi-pane windows that admit strong west-facing light and downtown views. Interiors emphasize industrial character: exposed brick walls, oversized bell-shaped concrete columns, corrugated or concrete ceilings, 10–12 foot ceiling heights, and open-plan living areas anchored by substantial kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and islands. Many units include lofted second levels, in-unit laundry, multiple walk-in closets, dual or pocket-door bathrooms, and features such as electric fireplaces, built-in media panels, or moveable kitchen bars. Common elements reinforce the building’s community scale and program: gated courtyard and deck space, shared community room, rooftop access, and historically sympathetic landscaping around a central park/courtyard. Parking is provided in an underground heated garage with assigned stalls and occasional two-stall units; the property is adding EV charging through a program. Pet-friendly policies and proximity to a dog park are noted in listings. Location anchors the building in the Wacouta Commons/ Ninth Street loft district with immediate walkability to the Saint Paul Farmers’ Market, restaurants, arts venues, CHS Field, riverfront trails and planned light-rail access, creating an urban-loft lifestyle that blends historic fabric with modern finishes.
