Community Voices: What is Happening with Lowry Apartments?
What’s Happening with the Former Lowry Apartments? The Community Deserves Answers!
The City of St. Paul condemned and boarded up the Lowry Apartments, displacing residents and leaving behind a vacant, deteriorating building that now threatens neighboring properties. Since then, nothing has been done—no plan, no progress, just an abandoned structure bringing down property values and causing real damage, including water leaks affecting the Lowry Condos next door.
Mayor Carter and city officials used this crisis to make political statements about helping people in need, yet after forcing residents out, they’ve done nothing to fix the situation. Where is the accountability? What’s the plan for this property? The city, or whoever now owns it, owes the community an explanation.
We need transparency. We need action. We need real solutions—not boarded-up windows and empty promises.
If you live, work, or care about downtown St. Paul, make your voice heard. Contact city officials, demand answers, and push for a plan that restores this building and our community.
Speak up now—before this eyesore becomes a permanent problem.
