Positioned along one of St. Paul's most prominent corridors, this University Avenue property offers exceptional exposure and long-term upside. Also included a very rare grandfathered automotive sales licensee, and an allowance for this corridor that adds long-term flexibility and value. Located just minutes from Allianz Field in an area experiencing ongoing development and investment. Opportunities with these use rights are limited, making this a solid option for an owner-user or investor looking to secure a well-located site.
