Resting upon the bluffs of the Mississippi River, the boutique Lilia project overlooks the 600-acre forest of Lilydale Regional Park. Three fingers of the building are oriented toward this preserve, giving most of the units views of nature and the St. Paul downtown skyline. A clearly ordered exterior expression is punctuated with balconies and clad in buff colored stone and brick with a darker attic story capping the building. Inside, soft curves echo the organic flow of the river with a palette that draws from the surrounding trees and textures. The property features a suite of carefully crafted, intimate amenity spaces that support and encourage resident interaction, including the two amenity courtyards looking out over the tree canopy.Â
