MEET VESI, THE NORTH LOOP'S NEXT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

A new residential project in the “backyard of the North Loop” finally has a name.

“Vesi” is currently under construction at 800 N 1st Street on a site directly behind the Star Tribune’s offices and production facility. When complete, the project will stand six-stories tall and will include 225 apartment units.

Units within the building will range in size and will include studio, alcove, one-bedroom, one-bedroom + den and two-bedroom units. Level six of the building will also include penthouse layouts of each of the previously mentioned unit types.

A unique aspect of the project is that building layout for Vesi is shaped somewhat like a unique “E” which means more units will have windows on at least two sides. That’ll a bonus for those who love as much natural daylight within in their home as possible.

Amenities within Vesi will include two large ground floor outdoor terraces, a large fitness center with a private group fitness room, an indoor pool, a spa/sauna, a large clubroom and a sixth-floor lounge with outdoor patio that will feature views of the Mississippi River and Downtown skyline.

Vesi was designed by ESG Architecture & Design and is being constructed by The Opus Group. When complete next summer the building will be managed by The Excelsior Group.

Pre-leasing for Vesi begins in January 2020.
