Among these firsts:

While meeting a wide range of development needs from Section 8 housing to luxury condominiums & mixed-use developments, the Boisclair Corporation established new standards in design, planning, and management resulting in innovative, award-winning firsts-of-its-kind recognition in both the community and/or the nation.

• First in the United States — Acknowledged in the Congressional Record, Section 8 Leased Subsidized Housing Project located in Robbinsdale, MN built in 1974.
• First in Minneapolis, MN – Lake Point Luxury High-Rise Condominiums gave validity to Boisclair as a trendsetting visionary, who recognized and followed housing preference shifts toward energy conservation, access to better transportation, and in shopping models & diverse cultural offerings within the city. Although a concept much taken for granted today, was considered radical when Lake Point was proposed and subsequently built in 1975.
• First large scale mixed-use project with substantial housing component – Riverplace consisted of $120M housing, retail, entertainment, and office complex located on the east bank of downtown Minneapolis was featured in Urban Land Institute-11/1985, and also received worldwide recognition with its International Council of Shopping Centers Award for Innovative Design and Construction built in 1985.
• First closing in the nation under HUD’s new 221(d)(4) Pilot Program – Brooks Landing and Brook Gardens Apartments, Brooklyn Park, MN we completed in September 2019.
