Riverside Plaza, Modernist high-rise apartment complex in Cedar-Riverside, Minneapolis, US
The complex includes six concrete buildings with colored exterior panels and 1,303 residential units spread across different heights, centered around the 39-story McKnight Building.
The Riverside Plaza, designed by architect Ralph Rapson, opened in 1973 as part of the federal New Towns-In Town program to create integrated urban communities.
The residential community houses approximately 4,400 people, with many residents from East African backgrounds, making it the largest affordable housing development in the Midwest.
The property provides amenities including 24-hour maintenance, controlled access entry, fire sprinkler systems, elevators, on-site laundry facilities, and two playgrounds for residents.
The buildings received a $132 million renovation in 2011, marking one of the largest tax credit rehabilitation projects in United States construction history.
