Habitat Developments
We believe every family deserves a foundation to build a future on and a place to call home. That's why we're expanding homeownership opportunities and creating new partnerships in the community. Our goal is to build forward together to close the racial homeownership gap and create a more vibrant, equitable Twin Cities.
Take a look at some of the larger projects Twin Cities Habitat is working on as we build forward together.
Harrison Townhomes
17 new affordable townhomes were completed in 2024 in the Harrison neighborhood of Minneapolis. This development includes 2- and 3-bedroom units and a 4-bedroom accessible unit. Each unit has ENERGY STAR Building and Appliance Certification. Harrison Townhomes are available for purchase now.
Minnetonka Mills
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity and Mills Church are partnering to develop new permanently affordable ownership housing on 2+ acres of underutilized, church-owned property. The development will include five 2-unit twin home buildings.
The Heights
Twin Cities Habitat is currently working with the St. Paul Port Authority and Sherman Associates in order to fully integrate the former Hillcrest Golf Course into medium-high density housing and commercial real estate. After construction finishes, we will have built 147 units in this area. This will be the largest project in Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity’s history. Construction began in 2024.
Past Projects
Willow Reserve
11 high-quality, single-family homes on Maryland Avenue in St. Paul's North End neighborhood were completed in 2021. Twin Cities Habitat acquired the land from the City of St. Paul’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority in March 2017. Work began to develop the land for the homes in mid-April 2017.

8 homes were built in partnership with Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church and Carver County Community Development Agency. Project funding came from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Federal Home Loan Bank, Twin Cities Habitat in-kind materials, volunteer labor, and philanthropic support.
