Award winning developments
While meeting a wide range of development needs from Section 8 housing to luxury condominiums and mixed-use developments, the corporation has established new standards in design, planning and management. The result has been innovative, award winning developments, many the first-of-a-kind in their communities or in the nation. Among the firsts are:
- In 1974, the first Section 8 leased subsidized housing project was built in the country located in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. This first was acknowledged in the Congressional Record;
- Lake Point condominiums was the first Minneapolis luxury high-rise condominium, built in 1975;
- The first large scale mixed use project with a substantial housing component called Riverplace, a $120 Million housing, retail, entertainment and office complex on the east bank of downtown Minneapolis.
- Completed the first in the nation 221(d)(4) Pilot program for affordable housing in 2019.
Riverplace was the November, 1985 featured mixed use project by the Urban Land Institute. Also in 1985, Riverplace received worldwide recognition with its International Council of Shopping Centers Award for Innovative Design and Construction.
