The Yards & Backyards
Located in the historic district of South St Paul where the largest meatpacking plants in the region were located, The Yards and BackyYards takes its cues from the rich and layered history of the area.
Constructed in two phases, the 154 unit first phase building includes resort quality amenities including a swimming pool, spa, rooftop party deck, several gathering areas, and game rooms. The two story highly detailed Lobby and secured, underground, heated parking also welcome the residents and visitors to the building. Phase two includes 111 apartments in a separate building which has similar, yet different amenities including a Yoga Room, several smaller rooftop patios, and a golf simulator.
The modern facility mixes in ample and quirky details emulating the history of the area as the largest meat processing yard in the upper Midwest.
