Take a look through Leijona, Duluth's newest and by far most unique apartment building, which began taking tenants in January of 2023, and by January of 2024 only two units were remaining.

Leijona is Finnish for lion and according to developers, it sets a new bar for urban living in Duluth. Located in the center of downtown, it offers 33 newly redeveloped boutique apartment units with brand-new fixtures in a restored historic building.

Leijona is located in the building that once served as the home of the St. Louis County jail and those historic details can still be seen throughout.
