LOWERTOWN LOFTS ARTISTS' COOPERATIVE
Since 1985, the Lowertown Lofts limited equity owners’ cooperative has provided safe, affordable live-in studios for a community of artists in St. Paul's historic warehouse district. It serves as a model for artist housing across the nation.
Applications for membership are always accepted; however final selection is based on a review of artist’s work and an interview. Since opening, the Lofts has had 100% occupancy. Due to the stability of its membership, only a few units per year may become available. Units are available in three sizes: approximately 485 sq. feet, 900 sq. feet. and 1300 sq. feet.
Location: 255 Kellogg Blvd E, between Wall and Wacouta, near the Farmers' Market, Black Dog Cafe, and Kelly's Depot Bar.
