Originally built in 1925, Alden Apartments offers studio and 1-bedroom units with classic brownstone charm paired with modern conveniences. Fully renovated in 2018, all units include updated plumbing, hand tiled bathrooms, and kitchens featuring new stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, cabinetry, and quartz countertops. In addition, all common area spaces including the kitchen area, fitness center, lounge, and workspace have been fully modernized. The property also includes 3,200 SF of 1st floor commercial space available for lease which can provide the next investor additional revenue.

The property is located in south Minneapolis with North Loop, Loring Park, and downtown Minneapolis all within arm’s reach. It is in close proximity to Target Field, Target Center, U.S. Bank Stadium, the Theater District, the Central Business District, and all Minneapolis has to offer.

The Property is centrally located off Interstate 94 on the east side of the Mississippi River in the southeast part of the city just minutes from Downtown St. Paul. The Property has access to major freeways, plenty of shops, restaurants, parks, and local businesses nearby as well as major employment centers in both Downtown St. Paul and Downtown Minneapolis.

English Street Apartments have been well-maintained, can be acquired at a significant discount to replacement cost, and offer an investor the opportunity to implement a value-add program. In addition, future ownership has the option to enter the 4d Affordable Housing Incentive Program which offers rental owners one-time administrative grant assistance as well as 10-year qualification to the “4d” property tax classification for rental units preserved for low/moderate-income households for that same period. This 4d, or “low income rental” classification (“LIRC”) provides for up to a 40% reduction in those 4d units’ assessed rate assessed to the portion of units committed to 4d preservation.
