Commonbond Communities

Began with a small team and a bold mission: create affordable homes and supportive communities.

Over five decades, it has grown into the Midwest’s leading nonprofit housing developer.

Its real estate arm oversees site analysis, project financing, entitlements, construction management, and adaptive reuse projects like Brewery Point and The Cooperage.

Balances growth with deep local engagement—listening to residents and partnering with volunteers, municipalities, and nonprofits to shape each community.

Signature model integrates housing with onsite wraparound services—education, employment aid, health, and community

building—to help residents thrive.

Projects span urban, suburban, and rural settings in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota, often focusing on underserved groups like veterans, seniors, and families.

Standout initiatives include redeveloping historic structures into supportive housing and pioneering senior communities in former brewery complexes.
