Tilsner Artist Lofts is managed by MetroPlains Management, LLC.
Each live/work unit at the Tilsner offers high ceilings, pine floors, exposed brick walls, wood beams, large windows and modern kitchens and baths. Some units on the sixth floor have 20-foot ceilings. Building amenities include two seven-story atriums that flood the interior with light.
The Tilsner proved that Artspace can rescue a historic building even in an advanced state of decay and turn it into a functioning, productive part of the community. The artists and families who reside at the Tilsner are part of a Lowertown neighborhood that didn’t exist three decades ago but now ranks as one of Saint Paul’s liveliest and most desirable places to live. The Tilsner and the adjacent Northern Warehouse proudly anchor the Saint Paul Art Crawl, which brings thousands of visitors to Lowertown twice each year.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
