The Heights is being built on a foundation of community-driven development, and housing is at the heart of that vision. In Summer 2022, the Housing Workgroup met regularly on Thursday evenings to explore the types of homes that should shape this new neighborhood.
Together with the Saint Paul Port Authority team, participants discussed housing needs for individuals and families across all ages, incomes, and life stages. Their insights helped guide a strategic mix of rental and ownership opportunities, from multifamily units to smaller-scale homes, addressing affordability, accessibility, and the “missing middle” of today’s housing market.
We are deeply thankful to the members of the Housing Workgroup, who offered their time, experience, and perspectives to help ensure The Heights becomes a place where everyone can belong:
Karen Aguirre, Rick Chen, Nathan Hackseth, Jesse Harms, Jeanette Jones, Becky Winslow, Ubah Shire, Jamila Taylor, Jun Yang, and Mai Yang.
Thanks to their input, The Heights is one step closer to becoming a vibrant, inclusive, and livable community for generations to come.
