20 Higher-Density Development <br />MYTH FOUR FACTFOUR <br />East Village <br />East Village is a small urban revitalization project on the edge of downtown Minneapolis. Before the <br />project was built, the neglected 2.9-acre site contained several deteriorating rental homes, old commer- <br />cial buildings, and abandoned surface parking lots. The neighborhood wanted to improve the area and <br />the image of one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, Elliot Park. The developers of the project, Central <br />Community Housing Trust and East Village Housing Corporation, developed the new mixed-income <br />housing and commercial community to encourage a sense of community and ownership. East Village <br />now features community green space, pedestrian paths, and neighborhood businesses. Buildings sur- <br />round the greenway that leads to Elliot Park, a city park with year-round activities and a community <br />center. Brick, bay windows, and French balconies complement historic buildings in the area. In addition, <br />all buildings have multiple entrances to encourage interaction among neighbors. An underground 350- <br />space parking garage frees up space for landscaped areas. This once neglected area has won two <br />awards for innovation and design and become an exceedingly successful vibrant and safe community. <br />The additional “eyes on the street” created by the development of <br />East Village in Minneapolis has led to a safer vibrant community. <br />PROFILE <br />CENTRAL <br />COMMUNITY <br />HOUSING <br />TRUST
