Seeking to create a town center, the city of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, entered into a public/private partnership with TOLD Development Company to develop Excelsior and Grand, a $150 million mixed-use project on 16 acres (6.5 hectares) that contains apartments, condominiums, retail space, and a town green that links to an existing city park. Designed by Elness Swenson Graham Architects, Inc. (ESG), this four-phase project will consist of 86,000 square feet (7,990 square meters) of retail space, 337 apartments, and approximately 330 for-sale units. Already completed, the first two phases comprise all of the aforementioned apartments, 124 condominiums, and over 65,000 square feet (6,093 square meters) of retail space. Furthermore, it provides the city of St. Louis Park, a first-ring suburb west of Minneapolis, with a pedestrian-friendly downtown.
