The Capitol Area Architectural
and Planning Board (CAAPB)
Preserving Minnesota’s Historic Legacy
The CAAPB is a state agency established to preserve and enhance the architectural integrity and visual dignity of the Minnesota State Capitol area. As guardians of this historic district, they oversee long-range planning and zoning to ensure that one of the nation’s most significant Capitol complexes remains a point of pride for all citizens.
Our Vision for Capitol Commons 546
Located within the CAAPB’s jurisdictional boundary, Capitol Commons 546 is designed in close collaboration with these planning standards. Their oversight ensures that our community hub serves as a harmonious bridge between the grand historic state grounds and the modern, everyday vibrancy of the Rice Street corridor.
