EITEL BUILDING CITY APARTMENTS

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

• On National Register of Historic Places

• Creative adaptive reuse which transformed historic hospital into modern day amenity

• First Twin Cities project to implement new codes to gain additional level in wood-frame construction

The Eitel Building City Apartments is a collection of new buildings that are integrated with transformed relics. The location and character were intentionally designed to reclaim park edges and reinforce neighborhood patterns, while shaping courtyards and pedestrian plazas. These newly defined spaces link parks to neighborhood, creating a dialogue within the community. In addition to the historic building’s restored exterior and transformed interiors, a portion of a 1967 addition was stripped down to its concrete structure and renovated into the celebrated heart of the development.

ElseWarehouse is a model for adaptive reuse and urban place-making. Its success proves it is part of a contemporary, sustainable pattern that can be repeated anywhere. This mixed-use development is located in the bustling North Loop district. The 6-and 3-story historic brick and cast-concrete structure with its enormous windows, sits along the historic commercial corridor of Washington Avenue, reinforcing the urban streetwall of its neighbors. By repurposing this historic warehouse in a strategic, sustainable, and design-centric way, the team preserved a piece of Minneapolis history contributing to the revitalization of an up-and-coming urban neighborhood.
