289 5th St E

Market House is a restored 1902 low-rise loft building in Saint Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood, composed primarily of two-bedroom loft units that preserve industrial character. The structure shows stone and brick exterior elements and retains historic features such as exposed timber beams, arched and oversized windows, and high ceilings ranging from roughly 14 to 21 feet. Interiors typically feature hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, renovated kitchens with granite or concrete counters, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry hookups, and lofted sleeping areas or mezzanines accessed by stairs. Common spaces include a two-story community/party room with kitchenette and a shared rooftop deck and garden with panoramic views of downtown and the Mississippi River. Building services and practical amenities are modest: elevator access, secure entry, owned or contract-covered parking options nearby, and fiber-optic internet included in some HOA dues. Pet-friendly rules allow dogs with building-specific limits. Located directly across from the Lowertown farmers’ market and within easy walking distance of restaurants, CHS Field, transit, and riverfront trails, the building supports an active urban lifestyle blending historic loft aesthetics with contemporary updates.
