Opened in 1986, it is the second tallest structure in St. Paul. Consisting of two residential towers (Jackson and Sibley, named after the streets they front on) and a base of office and retail, this project was considered a festival mall for the downtown area. Opening unfinished and over budget, the complex was considered a financial black mark for the city, particularly with the decline of retail tenants over the years.

Today, the complex enjoys moderate success as an office building; much of the former retail space has been converted into new offices. The theater has been turned into The Venue, a rental area for meetings and presentations. A few stores are still present, including a small food court and the recent addition of LoTo, an fine dining restaurant.

Comments

  • Much of this information is incorrect. Galtier Plaza opened in 1985, not 1987. The towers are not strictly condominium use; Jackson Tower is about 50/50 split of condominiums and apartments, Sibley Tower is 100% apartments, and there are also 16 townhomes known as "On The Park" along Sibley Street. The Galtier Cinema stopped showing first runs in the late 90s (1999 to be exact), not the mid 90s, but did continue to show films through 2001. This description also leaves out the retail services which are in Galtier, which include LoTo (a restaurant/bar/coffee shop/bakery), a food court, Credit Union, salon, chiropractor, and convenience store. Galtier Plaza also includes a large 5-story YMCA.
