Vandalia Tower Project Profile

Contact

ERA provided structural engineering services for the redevelopment of Vandalia Tower in St. Paul, MN, transforming a former mattress factory into a vibrant 200,000 sf creative use space.

This ambitious project involved the renovation and repurposing of seven buildings dating back to the 1920s into a mixed-use complex designed to house a diverse community of artists and creative professionals. The historic renovation carefully preserved the industrial character of the 1920s structures while adapting them to meet modern needs and safety standards. ERA’s expertise in working with existing structures was crucial in assessing and reinforcing the buildings’ structural integrity, allowing for the integration of contemporary amenities and creative spaces without compromising the site’s historical significance.
