Out with the old and in with the new as they say and that is exactly what is happening in the Lincoln Park area of Duluth. Over the past few years quite a few new businesses have taken over a few city blocks and now a brand new apartment building will be coming too. But first up the demolition of the old Robert s Furniture building on the corner of West Superior Street and 21st Avenue West.
The new apartment building will be called the Lincoln Park Flats. The four-story, 74-unit building is being constructed by P&R Companies. The apartments that will be available will be studio, one and two bedrooms plus a private balcony. The apartment building is hoping to be finished by 2022 which seems awfully ambitious considering they have to demolish the Roberts furniture building first and then set the foot print and build the apartments.

DULUTH, Minn.– A massive cleanup effort is underway in Duluth from what’s left of a homeless camp there.
“We need a solution, we don’t have the housing right now, the numbers are higher than ever and I could foresee people just coming back to this spot,” said Chum Outreach Coordinator Deb Holman.
Last October, groups of people experiencing homelessness in Lincoln Park were evicted from a section of the hillside along Mesaba Avenue and West Superior Street because of health and safety reasons. The cleanup has not been easy but some Duluthians have stepped up to the challenge.
