Wabasha Alleghany Apartments

The Wabasha Port Authority, City, State, the developer Keller-Baartman Properties LLC, of Red Wing, and community partners gathered last Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Alleghany apartments, a new 50-unit market rate property in downtown Wabasha.

The project fills a gap for needed housing in the city, particularly residential rental that is new construction.

The apartment building will be a four-story building, with studios, one, two, and three-bedroom units, an exercise room, a community room, and 38 underground parking stalls.

The two existing buildings at the project site had a long history of uses, including an auto repair site, truck storage and transfer building, gas station, canoe manufacturing.

In addition to the demolition costs of the buildings, this site required some contamination clean-up costs.

The City was able to receive grants through Minnesota DEED to cover these costs.

Project completion is planned for February 2027.
