The 30 affordable-unit Children’s Village Center was completed in 2002 and was the first phase of the South Quarter development project with Aeon. The first floor of the four-story Children’s Village Center is home to Hope’s offices and community center.

The 41-unit Jourdain building is named after Winnie Jourdain, a civil rights pioneer in Minneapolis and a respected elder on the White Earth Reservation. The completion of the Jourdain in 2006 transformed a vital urban intersection into rental options ranging from small studios to three-bedroom units. There is neighborhood commercial space on the street level. The Jourdain is part of the South Quarter and is a partnership with Aeon.

The 49-unit, mixed-income, the Wellstone building is a Minnesota Green Communities demonstration project, and features the largest residential solar thermal hot water system in the State. The Wellstone, part of the South Quarter, includes commercial/community space that houses Twin Cities Child Care Center.

The 90 unit, mixed-income Rose building, was the final phase of the South Quarter with partner Aeon. The development’s design goes beyond typical sustainability standards with renewable energy systems and a large community garden. The Rose won the 2016 “Energy and Climate Award” from Environmental Initiative.

The 25 affordable-units in the Dundry are reserved for formerly homeless individuals and couples. Through a partnership with Project for Pride in Living, people who live in the Dundry receive the support they need to move toward stability.
