THE COPHAM RESIDENCES

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

• Utilized federal and state historic tax credits

The Holden Building warehouse property on Washington Avenue North was transformed from industrial use to 120 market-rate apartments with commercial space and renamed The Copham Residences. Rehabilitation work tackled the cleaning and repair of masonry, including the removal of the cream paint from the first story of the building. Window openings that had been filled in and walled over were reopened. Historic windows were restored and new replacement windows were installed that were modeled after the historic. The industrial characters of the building was respected while accommodating new construction for residential apartments and commercial tenants. With close access to a light-rail station and in walking distance from downtown Minneapolis, the recycled building is a model for sustainability.
