Golden Valley, Minnesota was first marked on the map as a farming community in the 1800s. Since then, the community continues to grow as more families move to the city. Large employers, including General Mills, Honeywell, and Pentair, have corporate offices in Golden Valley.
Due to the demand for housing increase, the city approved plans for the construction of the Liberty Crossing Apartments and Townhouse project at the southeast corner of Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue. The project came together when the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) sold its property. The name of the new apartment complex, Liberty Crossing, is a tribute to the VFW. In fact, the new clubhouse is available to the VFW for its monthly meetings.

Liberty Crossing

Several buildings were demolished before crews could begin construction. The old VFW post, a car wash, an Asian restaurant, and a vacant SIFCO building were demolished. Storm water management was key, as the area is prone to flooding. In order to protect the new development from flooding, crews needed to add an above ground pretreatment and filtration basin and a network of underground storage chambers.
Liberty Crossing stands at 5-stories and features 187 residential units with underground parking available to tenants. The units include modern studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartment homes. Adjacent to the apartment building are 55 two-story townhomes with either a one or two car attached garage. The apartment building was fitted with solar panels to assist in the community’s energy needs.
Amenities include a resort-style swimming pool with patio and grilling areas; a 24/7 fitness center with free weights; a playground; and a fenced dog park. Residents also have access to not two, but three social areas including a game and business lounge and a large screen TV lounge.

Established in 1954 as Harlem Irving Plaza, or “HIP,” one of Chicago’s first shopping centers, Harlem Irving Companies has since grown into a dynamic, community-focused development organization. A privately held company, Harlem Irving Companies is a leading developer of shopping centers, retail and commercial developments, and multi-use residential and institutional real estate, to name a few. One of its most recent projects is the HERE MN Student Housing development, located in the up-and-coming Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, which Big-D began construction on in January 2019.

HERE Minneapolis Student Apartments

The 125,000-square foot, $21.2 million project involved construction of a 6-story apartment building with 169 individual units, including 107 micro-studios; 36 one-bedroom apartments; and 26 two-bedroom apartments. The building features a myriad of resident amenities including a lobby, lounge, and fitness center, as well as secluded study rooms on each floor, an outdoor courtyard, and a sky deck on the sixth level that offers cityscape views of bustling downtown Minneapolis. The residence was also built with underground and outdoor parking with plenty of bike storage and features a large outdoor lawn area with lounge space for residents to take it easy right outside the buzzing Minneapolis metropolis.
With brick, stucco, wood composite, and metal panel coverings, the L-shaped building offers a modern look that fits right into its hip, trendy neighborhood. Located right across the Prospect Park LRT station and near bus lines and bike lanes, the residence is strategically situated for convenience and ease—especially for college students looking for independent living in a bustling new area just a few miles away from the University of Minnesota campus.
Big-D&#8217;s successful completion of this project contributes much to the high-quality, yet affordable housing needs of the area.
