A 3.5-acre parcel in the heart of Minneapolis, Seward Commons started as an underused industrial site. I had the opportunity to lead the community process to create a holistic approach to develop the site, with phased new projects that meet a variety of community needs.
Now new buildings have spaces for small businesses and nonprofits to thrive, mixed-income housing just steps from the Light Rail transit, and public art that inspires.

Cuyuna Cabin on Carlson Lake
Cuyuna Cabin on Carlson Lake
A 1908 Duplex in the heart of Merriam Park, one of Saint Paul’s most walkable neighborhoods, just blocks from the University of St. Thomas and Macalester College.
The rehabilitation included a new roof, new boilers, deconstruction to create more open living and finishing the third floor to create 3BDs, a bath, and in-unit laundry.
The duplex cash flows from long-term renters.

The home sits above Carlson Lake, has a large covered porch, giant fire pit, and outbuilding for storage.
Newly constructed in 2019, the home has minimal monthly expenses due to a strong sustainability focus. Those features include SIPs panel construction, large overhands, in-floor heat, and double pane windows.
Interior features include soapstone countertops, finished concrete floors, and pebble tile in one of two baths.
Seward Co-op Minneapolis, MN
Cuyuna Cabin on Carlson Lake
Seward Co-op Minneapolis, MN
Seward Co-op needed a new, larger home in 2006 and wanted to stay on the ‘main street’ of the Seward Neighborhood, but there were no sites large enough. Acquisition of single-family homes was complex and sensitive but completed with great neighborhood support.
Partial rehab of a dilapidated grocery and new construction, sustainability was a huge value driver, and we secured public funding including New Market Tax Credits and Brownfield cleanup funds.
