The marketplace at the former Hamm's Brewery will include local vendors. Rendering: the City of St. Paul/JB Vang Partners
St. Paul is planning to transform the former Hamm's Brewery site into a two-story marketplace and public gathering space with hundreds of affordable housing units.
Driving the news: The city announced this week that it's recommending JB Vang Partners to develop the project.
Why it matters: Supporters say the site's redevelopment will create a "vibrant" hub of community and commercial activity and bring much-needed affordable housing to the city's East Side.
- Plans call for both rental units and row houses available for purchase. Prices and mix will be determined later, a city spokesperson told Axios.
What's next: The Housing and Redevelopment Authority will officially select the project's developer next month.
- A city spokesperson told Axios via email that construction could start as soon as 2025.
