The block of 10th Street between Robert and Minnesota Streets has made quite a transformation since July 2012 when ground was broken on The Penfield, a 254 unit mixed-use development. The first residents will move into the building in late November and Lund’s will begin build out of the commercial space in just a few weeks for their grocery store that will open in spring/summer of 2014.
The Penfield preserves a wall from the former Public Safety Building that once occupied the site and opened in 1930. That building at one time housed three city departments – Fire, Police and Public Health. The preserved wall has the words “Fire,” “Health” and “Police” engraved above the columns. A historical interpretive display of the Public Safety Building along with public art will be installed on the 10th Street side of The Penfield.
Apartment units at The Penfield will feature stainless steel appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, granite countertops, kitchen islands, wood floors, soaking tubs, custom closets and open, airy layouts. Community amenities include an 18,000 square-foot courtyard and green roof with an outdoor pool, hot tub, fire pit, cabanas, dog run, green space, sundeck, clubroom with gourmet kitchen, fitness center and enclosed parking.
