Developer plans six-story, mixed-use project at Grand Avenue and Victoria Street in St. Paul
A local developer is planning a six-story apartment complex with street-level restaurants and retail on the northeast corner of Grand Avenue and Victoria Street in St. Paul. Afton Park Development's $40 million project would be built on the site of what is now Victoria Crossing East, which houses a Juut salon and the former Billy's on Grand space, later known as the Gather Eatery and Watch Bar, among other businesses. The company's plans call for 87 units of market-rate housing, indoor parking and a pair of 4,000-square-foot restaurants on either side of a retail space, Afton president Ari Parritz said this week. Parritz said he expects to close on the purchase of the property later this spring, with construction beginning in January 2026. The complex could open as soon as summer 2027. The site was recently rezoned from business district to 'traditional neighborhood' zoning, and Parritz said he is in the process of applying for a conditional use permit to build the structure to the intended height. Afton is in talks with a business for the building's central commercial space, but Parritz said he is still seeking occupants for the restaurants, both of which will include patio seating. Parritz worked with Reuter Walton to redevelop the former Dixie's on Grand space three blocks east into the Kenton House apartment complex, which opened in 2023 and includes Japanese restaurant Saji Ya, Emmett's Public House and Razava Bread Co. at street level. Reuter Walton is not involved with this project.

New grocer coming to Bastrop, targeting 2026 opening
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A new grocer is sprouting up in Bastrop, according to state licensing documents. Arizona-based Sprouts Farmers Market is setting up shop off State Highway 71 in Bastrop, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings. The storefront will be located at 655 W. SH 71, Ste. 101, as part of the first phase of the Burleson Crossing East project. Project work is expected to begin March 1 and wrap in March 2026, per project filings. The approximately $6 million project will result in a 23,349-square-foot store. There are currently 54 Sprouts locations in Texas, including several Central Texas storefronts in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park and Georgetown. The new grocer news followed expansion work underway on the city's existing H-E-B. The enhancements and renovations included a 21,000-square-foot addition, featuring a True TX BBQ, enlarged curbside service, an upgraded tortilla bar and other amenities, the Bastrop Economic Development Corporation said in a November update. Work on that project is expected to wrap late this year, per the Bastrop EDC. The additional grocer also comes as food insecurity needs have risen in Bastrop County in recent years. In an April 2024 interview with KXAN, the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry said they reported an 89% increase in food and support requests since 2020. At the time, the nonprofit told KXAN they were working to rebuild its food pantry into a new, larger facility to be able to store ample food supplies and increase the number of intake rooms for families seeking services.
