BROWNstone Commercial

Retail rental space for small businesses

Located at Green Line’s Victoria station, BROWNstone is a vibrant part of Saint Paul’s Central Corridor. It offers new and attractive commercial spaces facing University Avenue with ideal access to mass transit, auto, and pedestrian traffic.

Our mission is to promote economic and social prosperity. This continues in our commercial ventures as we create fair, affordable, and accessible spaces for small businesses. By doing so, we are also providing the tenants in those spaces opportunities to create jobs and employ people in the community.
