Verdant Apartments is a five-story, wood-framed, 82-unit affordable multi-family housing project in the West Side Flats neighborhood of St. Paul, near the Mississippi River. As a result of the developer’s partnership with the City of St. Paul, the project took on the ambitious goal of becoming only the second multi-family building in Minnesota to achieve the Phius (Passive House Institute US) certification.

Verdant is the 2023 Affordable Housing Winner of the Phius Design Competition, recognizing the successful efforts of the entire project team in achieving this high performance project.
