On Aug. 25, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, Project for Pride in Living (PPL) Executive Director Paul Williams, St. Paul City Councilmember Russ Stark, and local civic leaders broke ground on Hamline Station, a mixed-use development located on a 1.6 acre parcel at Hamline and University along the Green Line. The new development will have 108 units of affordable rental housing including 14 units of permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless or disabled persons and will assist eight households that have experienced long-term homelessness. The $28 million project also feature 13,700 square feet of ground-level retail space.

“Hamline Station is a powerful opportunity to provide low-income families and individuals high quality housing with a significant transit solution,” said Williams. “The collective impact of this will be immense in helping people achieve greater housing and economic stability. PPL is excited to bring this project to life on the Green Line.”

The development will include two four-story buildings with 57 units in one building and 51 in the other. It will also include an underground parking lot for residents and back surface parking lot for retail as well as a shared public plaza.

“Hamline Station will also be a fabulous new addition to the Hamline-Midway neighborhood, turning an old vacant car lot into an attractive amenity with shops and an outdoor plaza,” said Stark.
