THREE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS PROPOSED FOR GIRARD AVENUE S

A group of developers have set their sights on Girard Avenue South.

Developers Yellow Tree and Perkins and Levin are proposing three new residential developments along the road stretching from W 27th Street to W 32nd Street. In total, the three proposals would bring 271 new apartments to the Uptown neighborhood.

So, what exactly is being proposed?

2701 GIRARD AVENUE S

The first project is a six-story residential building proposed for the southeast corner of Girard Avenue South and West 27th Street (that’s just down the block from Giordano’s). Four existing buildings would be demolished in order to make way for the new building.

119 apartments would be included on the project which likely would range in size from studios to two-bedroom units. Residents would have access to 74 parking spaces that would be located on one at grade level and one below grade level.

The exterior of the project would be clade in brick, burnished block and three colors of metal panel.

The project was designed by DJR Architecture and would be co-developed by Yellow Tree and Perkins and Levin. An anticipated construction start date for this project would most likely occur in 2020.

2832 GIRARD AVENUE S

The next proposal is located on a site just north of the parking lot of Piggy Bank, a restaurant located in the Uptown neighborhood.

The project site would require the combination of three properties that each currently are each home to single-family dwellings. All three would be demolished in order to make way for a new six-story building that would include 76 apartments.

The exterior of the project would be clad in a brick base with the upper floors being clad in metals of various colors. Composite wood accents would also be found throughout the façade. In addition, the developer is also proposing a green wall facing south towards the alley.

The project was designed by DJR Architecture and would be co-developed by Yellow Tree and Perkins and Levin. An anticipated construction start date for this project would most likely occur in 2020.

3224 GIRARD AVENUE S

The final proposal for Yellow Tree’s Girard Street trifecta is for 3224 Girard Avenue S.

This project would be located between W 32nd and W 33rd Streets on the west site of Girard Avenue S. It would require the demolition of 3 single family residences along with one multifamily residence.

A new four-story building would be constructed on the site that would include 76 apartments. Apartment sizes would include studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. The ground floor of the building would include the residential lobby along with a fitness center, bike storage room and three 1-bedroom walk up units.

Residents would have access to 38 enclosed surface parking spaces within the building.

The project was designed by DJR Architecture and would be co-developed by Yellow Tree and Perkins and Levin. An anticipated construction start date for this project would most likely occur in 2020.

All three projects will be presented for feedback before the Minneapolis Planning Commission Committee of the Whole at their June 20th meeting at 4:30pm.
