Greenleaf Lofts On Nicollet

GREENLEAF LOFTS 9 West Franklin Avenue Strongly articulated architecture, Greenleaf Lofts follows the old-fashioned New Urbanism format of living units above street retail—here, a Starbucks—yet this is done with a crisply modern design sensibility. With Eat Street Lofts across the street and Franklin Lofts a block beyond, this corner of Franklin and Nicollet has gained a critical mass of new housing, almost a distinct, small neighborhood in itself. Greenleaf Lofts' nicely scaled living units are well-lighted by expansive windowalls. A handsome deck-patio provides attractive outdoor space.
