Making Progress...

Construction of the Allina: J.A. Wedum Residential Hospice House in Brooklyn Park, is well underway and progressing on schedule. The exterior envelope is taking shape and should be completed in the next couple of weeks – well before the snow flies! With the work that has been completed, we are able to see how the building massing is fitting very well with the context of the surrounding area. Great weather and quality craftsmanship have allowed the work to progress in an efficient manner. Best news of the day – the Owner is very pleased with how things are coming together. We are all enjoying watching this important project take shape!
