Details: Work on a new luxury apartment complex is underway in a specially zoned area of southwest Rochester designed to attract mixed properties to an area along the South Fork of the Zumbro River.
City officials established the Riverfront Commons Special District near the Apache Mall shopping area with the intent of fostering "a comprehensively-planned, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood" characterized by "higher density housing, skillful architectural and landscape design and open spaces."
Twin Cities developers CPM and Roers Investments last year proposed a mixed-use, retail-residential project anchored by the upscale, 159-unit Red44 Apartments. Ground was broken this month for the building, which will offer a rooftop lounge with a fire pit, community spaces, fiber-optic internet access and shuttle service to the Mayo Clinic for tenants working there.
