Ebenezer Tower Apartments
Brutalist building brought back to life!
Ebenezer Tower is a 23 story, 192 unit affordable senior housing project in south Minneapolis. Blumentals/Architecture provided design services for the major exterior and interior renovation to insure long term viability of the 1970 structure. Restoration of the cast-in-place exterior walls and new energy efficient windows brought the iconic building’s character back. Rejuvenating the lower plaza with new landscaping, seating area, and a community garden provided the residents with a more usable outdoor living space. A complete interior renovation of all apartments and all public areas was undertaken, including lobbies, lounge, chapel, library, and fitness room. Existing elevators were modernized and building systems were updated to provide a thorough stabilization of the building.
