ST. PAUL, MINN. — Ryan Companies US Inc. recently completed the construction and renovation of Lexington Commons Apartments in St. Paul for CommonBond Communities. The 45,351-square-foot, 48-unit facility will serve as a supportive housing community. The $8 million project was primarily financed through Minnesota housing using federal stimulus funds.
