Shelby represents a significant and meaningful addition to the Twin Cities area with homelessness increasing across the country, and factors such as the lack of affordable housing and high rent prices contribute to the imbalance.
Shelby Commons, a co-developed project by Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. and Project for Pride in Living (PPL), is a 46-unit affordable housing community located in the North Loop neighborhood of downtown Minneapolis. The project nestles in just south of the historic Farmer’s Market, anchoring the corner site with a pair of rectangular masses angled and offset to create a dynamic corner street presence. The corrugated corten exterior recalls the industrial characteristics of the current neighborhood giving the project an edgy but comfortable fit within the district. Two large building murals procured through Juxtaposition Arts further accentuate the building to add local roots and meaning to the spaces, making this project one of the first of its kind in a promising new development trend for the City of Minneapolis.
