JLL proudly presents Rayette Lofts, a distinguished community of 88 homes located in the coveted Lowertown neighborhood of St. Paul. Nestled beside Mears Park and overlooking CHS Field, this exquisite residential complex combines modern living with a timeless charm.
Originally the headquarters of Rayette, a prominent cosmetics manufacturer and distributor, Rayette Lofts pays homage to its rich history. The 7-story Neoclassical masterpiece from 1909 is adorned with welcoming cream-colored brick and a grand entrance flanked by columns. Designed by Chicago architect James F. Denson, the building has recently been reimagined as modern apartment spaces while preserving its classic allure.
Situated on the east side of Mears Park, Rayette Lofts holds a significant place in the heritage of the Lowertown District. With its transformation into a lively apartment community in 2014, it seamlessly integrates historic charm with contemporary living. The surrounding area of Lowertown offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and convenience, with trendy shops, farm-to-table eateries, and vibrant music venues. Its proximity to public transportation, parks, the Mississippi River, and key amenities like CHS Field and Xcel Energy Center make it a robust apartment market.
The unique market conditions in St. Paul, including rent control and reduced permit activity, provide exceptional pricing power for investors. Comparable market data supports significant rent increases, and strong market fundamentals position Rayette Lofts for immediate and future growth.
Rayette Lofts presents a rare opportunity to acquire a best-in-class Type 1 asset with attractive yields and potential for future expansion, outperforming similar markets across the country. Offered free and clear, JLL welcomes qualified offers for this prestigious property, with an expected closing date in Q4 2024.
