Proj Overview

Named for the Great Northern Railway train depot which once stood on the site, The Depot on Main has three-stories of apartments over a precast concrete underground parking structure. The project features include a community room with outdoor deck, fitness room, playground, outdoor grills, and a 26,035 square foot climate-controlled, underground parking garage.

This project’s foundation and underground parking garage were designed using precast concrete columns, prestressed beams, hollow core floor plank and architectural precast concrete formliner wall panels. The ashlar stone formliner pattern used on the 68 wall panels for this project has become a staple in the designs used by this project team for many other multi-family housing projects.  

Scheduled for construction during a harsh Minnesota winter, the use of precast concrete on this project enabled construction to continually progress in spite of the cold.
