The Saint Paul Condo Blog

The Pointe of Saint Paul has started the process for new elevators, well modernization actually.

The elevators at the Pointe are at about their life expectancy so the Board of Directors (including myself) have decided to replace them.  Construction will likely begin late summer, with completion 18 months later.  It's not an easy process, but it will be worth the effort.  The new elevators will run faster, smoother, and smarter!  The computers behind 20 year old elevators are not very smart!  There are also new codes coming with 5 years that would have required major repairs to the current elevators.

There will likely be a small assessment for the replacement ($500-$1000), as the total bill is nearly $700,000!!!

City Walk went through a similar process a little over a year ago.  The end result was well worth it!  The Pointe does have one big advantage though; THREE ELEVATORS!  This means that during the construction, they will always have two running.
