Office furniture liquidation in Downtown St. Paul
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Downtown St. Paul, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in Downtown St. Paul
Downtown St. Paul sits on the bluffs above the Mississippi River, bounded roughly by I-94, I-35E and Kellogg Boulevard, with the State Capitol just to the north and River Park Plaza across the river. State and county agencies, insurance and financial firms such as Securian, law firms, utilities and healthcare offices are the core tenants.
The office stock is mostly mid-rise and high-rise buildings from the 1910s through the 1980s, connected by a public skyway system, plus larger campus-style buildings near the river. Many buildings share alley or below-grade docks with small freight elevators, and the age of the stock means clear-outs often involve older systems furniture and floors with limited loading capacity.

Planning a Downtown St. Paul move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Measure freight elevators and dock heights in older downtown buildings, since many St. Paul docks were not built for modern box trucks.
- Keep the Green Line light rail tracks on 4th Street and Cedar Street clear when staging trucks or carts near the Central Station area.
- Check the Xcel Energy Center and RiverCentre calendars before booking moves, because Wild games and conventions crowd West 7th Street and Kellogg Boulevard.
- Ask Ramsey County about any county hazardous waste rules on top of state requirements before shipping out electronics from a downtown office.
- Allow extra time for winter loading on the bluffs, where icy grades on streets down to the river slow loaded trucks.
