Villages at Frost-English Phase II
Address: 1957 English St. N., Maplewood
Type: Senior housing
Units: 107
Developer: Sherman Associates
Architect: Kaas Wilson Architects
Details: Sherman Associates is moving ahead with the second of a planned three phases at its Villages at Frost-English redevelopment project in Maplewood's Gladstone neighborhood.
Sherman last year completed construction on its first phase, a 50-unit building of mainly affordable "workforce" apartments on the northwest corner of the intersection of Frost Avenue and English Street — the former site of the shuttered Maplewood Bowl bowling center. The project launched in 2014 with the help of a $1.9 million Met Council grant and a tax increment financing package from the city, which sought to revitalize the struggling commercial district.
