The two towers in the Elliot Park neighborhood have stood since 1961 and have been considered the oldest high-rise public housing in Minneapolis.
The renovation project included a remodel of the towers’ 174 units of existing public housing, added 10 fully disability-accessible units, replaced outdated building systems and added energy efficiency improvements, including re-cladding the buildings with insulated metal panels. Over 6,200 feet of community areas and office space were also added.
