Since the early 2000s, the city of Brooklyn Center located in the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis, has planned to redevelop 15 acres of an 80-acre Opportunity Zone Site. In 2018, the city selected Alatus to serve as the developer, with the purpose of this opportunity zone being to spur job creation and economic growth in an “economically distressed” community via tax benefits for investors. BKV’s charge as the lead planner and architect on the project is to engage the city’s residents, and effectively arrange and design a multitude of uniquely combined project types and environments that all serve the larger Brooklyn Center community.
