Oppidan Investment Company has broken ground on Mill + Miss, a new workforce housing project in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

The 121,000 square feet, 132-unit market-rate rental development is the result of a unique public-private partnership designed to meet the area’s critical housing needs amid recent economic and job growth. Mill + Miss is designed to meet the needs of today’s workforce while also enhancing the broader community with high-quality housing options.

The project includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with modern finishes, heated and detached garage parking, a fitness center, game room, coffee bar, outdoor patio and grill area, and walking paths.

“This project is a testament to how strong partnerships between the private and public sector can deliver tangible solutions for growing communities,” said said Dave Scott, Oppidan President. Mill + Miss was made possible through the support of the City of Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Economic Development Authority, Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation Board, and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
