The Saint Paul Condo Blog

Nothing like a little drama for a development in Saint Paul!  The Farmers Market Flats development is being delayed until March to straighten out issues relating to the excavation of the site.  The contractor (Flannery Construction) ran into unforseen obstacles when they dug out the hole.  The contractor was expecting an old building collapsed on itself, but they also found two other remains of old buildings!

This moved Flannery's time table out and caused additional costs associated with it.

Drama in developments seem commonplace in Saint Paul.  Here are just a few of the developments that had its share of fun!

The Bridges fiasco (Which completely polarized the entire City)

West Side Flats (Starting, stopping, starting again, and finally canned)

Island Station (Wow, this one was a whopper!)

Great Northern Lofts (The building was sinking and the developers had to throw a ton of money at it to stop it)

River Park Lofts (where do I begin???  the 9 month delay, the title problems, or the sound proofing problems, too many to choose from!) - As a side note, the title issues have all been cleared up and the retrofitting of the sound proofing is either nearly complete or completed.
