RIVER FALLS -- When people ask whatever happened to the Equity Coop Elevator on Clark Street, they need to look no further than the City Station, a bright, modern and well-appointed single and double bedroom housing unit.
City Station, along with the neighboring Depot, is the work of Gerrard Corporation. The city did a comprehensive analysis of housing in River Falls that revealed a shortage of 3 to 4,000 available in the city. These Gerrard developments that just opened in September 2020 helped to start to fill that need. And, since it was built at the same time as their neighboring Depot, they took advantage of cost control that comes with multi-unit development. The two units are operated with separate management but share many of the design features.
