About the building

Built in 1924, the 2-story, 22,000 SF St. Clair Building is an iconic mixed-use building consisting of 4 commercial tenant spaces on street-level and 10 1-bedroom market-rate apartments on the second level. The St. Clair Building is situated along the new “A-Line commercial corridor” and amongst several distinguished colleges including adjacent Macalester College. Since acquiring ownership in January 2012, Maven CRE has demonstrated a commitment to both the property and the “smart urban charming” Mac-Groveland Neighborhood by investing substantial capital and resources to improve the long-term stability of the property. Once home to the famed “St. Clair Broiler”, the building is seeing sweeping success from new shops such as Cajah Salon, Poppy, Edward Jones and Tribute — a new hip restaurant with on-sale liquor. Since 2017, over 500 new apartment units have been built within 6 blocks of the St. Clair Building.
