Heritage Landing represents a high-density, mixed-use, urban infill project in the heart of the historic Minneapolis Warehouse District. The 229-unit rental complex combines flats, lofts and stacked two-story townhomes with 400 underground parking stalls and 7,500 sf of street-level retail. The goal of the design was to combine contemporary living with an industrial aesthetic compatible to the historic neighborhood. The complex covers an entire city block and is positioned to create and maintain a strong urban edge along the streets.

The complex required two different structural systems and the integration of a historic 19th century battered stone wall, originally built to enclose a railroad yard, and an old historic steel and wood bridge on the east side which was required to be left intact and exposed to view. Heritage Landing combine materials inherent to the area but used in a refreshing, imaginative way.
