Excelsior & Grand, Excelsior Boulevard btw. Monterrey and Quentin, St. Louis Park

null

Excelsior and Grand is the general name given to the adventurous multi-block, mixed-use development which includes myriad condominiums, restaurants, boutiques, and a Trader Joes. The development recalls New Urbanism visual formulas (the purposeful design of neighborhoods to include a variety of housing and jobs within walking distance) which have been enjoying resurgence in popularity as of late. Nearby are the Miracle Mile shopping center, Medcenter health complex, Byerly’s grocery store, Wolfe Lake Park, and Bass Lake wildlife preserve. Although there are several apartments nearby they differ from the development in outright scale and because they lack an overall coherency. Excelsior and Grand is located on the main surface route between Downtown and the southwestern suburbs, it is near Highway 100 which allows for increased regional access, and there is access to public transportation. The living units in this development are spacious and the building offers an outdoor pool, heated underground parking, and an exercise room.
