Common Expands Footprint to Twin Cities

Common, a residential brand that designs, leases and manages multifamily properties globally, is expanding to the Twin Cities via ACKERBERG at ALVERA, located at 337 W. 7th St. in St. Paul, MN.  

The 193-unit modular apartment building in the West Seventh neighborhood, owned and developed by ACKERBERG and Northland Real Estate, will be a first-of-its-kind Class A multifamily building in St. Paul. 

ALVERA residents will have access to new and exclusive amenities and Common perks. ALVERA’s doors will open in December and rents will start at $1,077. 

“I am thrilled about this partnership because both ACKERBERG and Common are uniquely focused on making city living wonderful for middle-income renters,” said Brad Hargreaves, CEO and Founder of Common. “At ALVERA, ACKERBERG has brought true innovation in design and construction to St. Paul and being selected to operate this unique building is a real honor.”
