Millwork Lofts breaks ground for housing

Minneapolis-based Dominium broke ground Nov. 1 for adaptive reuse of a historically significant industrial building into 78 units of affordable housing located at 4041 Hiawatha Ave. S.

Units at Millwork Lofts will provide modern amenities, while showcasing the historic character of the building, with exposed brick walls, tongue and groove wood ceilings, and in some cases restored original wood windows. Kitchens will have granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. All units will also be equipped with washer and dryers.

“This important restoration will keep the historic character of the neighborhood intact while providing much needed affordable housing in the Hiawatha Corridor,” said Dominium developer, Nick Andersen. “The character of the building combined with the strong demand for housing in the area made this site a prime opportunity for adaptive reuse.”

Shared amenities at Millwork Lofts will include a clubroom, rooftop deck and fitness room/yoga room. The building will also make use of a geothermal heating and cooling system.
