Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians (RLBC) has developed a 110-unit, mixed-use development in South Minneapolis. Mino-bimaadiziwin (an Ojibwe phrase meaning “the good life”) will offer 10 studios, 15 one-bedroom, 55 two-bedroom, and 30 three-bedroom apartments in a six-story building with ample green space, shared underground parking, and a complete amenity package.
RLBC is co-locating its Wellness Center and Red Lake Nation Embassy on the building’s first floor. Mino-bimaadiziwin provides mixed-use, mixed-income, workforce housing for families on a distressed site along a transit-oriented commercial corridor. Plans for the development include a walkway to access the Franklin Avenue Blue Line station for the convenience of residents and their visitors.
RLBC intentionally and thoughtfully selected this site for its first development off the Red Lake Reservation because this is where many of its members live.
