Mission Accomplished: BKV Group Reimagines Historic Fort Snelling Buildings As Affordable Housing

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine



Taking adaptive reuse to the next level, TJ client BKV Group reimagined the historic Fort Snelling Upper Post in St. Paul, Minn. into a modern affordable housing community that gives preference to military members, veterans, first responders and their families.


After being largely vacant and in disrepair for decades, the historic Fort Snelling Upper Post, a former military housing site along the banks of the Snell River in St. Paul, Minn., is now a thriving and eminently stylish affordable housing community, with preference given to veterans, thanks to an extensive redesign by Taylor Johnson client BKV Group. The $160 million project, now known as Upper Post Flats, repurposed 26 existing structures – including barracks, an administration building, gymnasium, morgue and hospital – into 192 apartments and an array of indoor and outdoor amenities. TJ issued a press release and pitched local and national media on the unique redevelopment, resulting in a feature in Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, along with additional coverage in Finance & Commerce, REBusinessOnline, REjournals and Yield PRO.
