Thank you to both the Star Tribune and GreenMoney for spotlighting Avalon – a Sunrise Banks-funded redevelopment project in St. Paul!

Located in the former James J. Hill Reference Library, Avalon now hosts a variety of events, including weddings, fundraisers and other corporate functions.

Developers from First & First used a Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) loan from Sunrise Banks to overhaul the building’s HVAC system, making it much more comfortable and energy efficient.

For nearly 100 years, the historic James J. Hill Reference Library anchored the area overlooking Rice Park in downtown St. Paul.

Today, it is taking on a new life as Avalon – a wedding and event venue.

Guests will still see many elements of the historic library on display, including thousands of books and reference materials. Behind the scenes, developers used a C-PACE Loan from Sunrise Banks to make the century-old building much more energy efficient.

Now on our Sunrise Banks blog, meet the team that is transforming this space so it can be enjoyed by a new generation of visitors. You’ll find the story link in the comments.
