Shields Avenue Apartments

The acquisition and selective rehabilitation of this property provides deeply affordable housing and supportive services for vulnerable populations at 40% AMI in St. Paul's Merriam Park neighborhood. Situated on a 0.27-acre infill lot, the existing three-story walk-up features six 900-square-foot two-bedroom apartments and two 700-square-foot one-bedroom apartments. This Small NOAH, missing middle housing type expands deeply affordable housing along a major transit and culture corridor and strengthens housing stability among the city's lowest-income residents. The rehabilitation scope includes two additional 2-bedroom units in the lower level, increasing density. These lower-level units are still in progress.
