ELMHURST, ILL. — McHugh Construction and joint venture partner Nacional Group have broken ground on the new Joanne B. Wagner Community Center in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst.

by Kristin Harlow

MINNEAPOLIS — Kraus-Anderson has broken ground on Exodus, a $24 million affordable housing project in downtown Minneapolis. The developer, Aeon, is partnering with St. Olaf Catholic Church on the project, which involves the rehabilitation and addition to an existing eight-story building adjacent to the church. Once complete, the development will provide 72 studio units of deeply affordable housing, designed to support individuals experiencing homelessness and housing instability. Residents will be referred through Hennepin County’s Coordinated Entry and Behavioral Health Systems. Touchstone Mental Health will provide comprehensive supportive services. Through a long-term ground lease, Aeon will be the new owner and operator of the building. Constructed in the 1950s, the building was originally designed to provide dorm-style housing for young professional women working downtown.
