2116 Nicollet Avenue

In March 2021, the Whittier Alliance finalized the purchase of 2116 Nicollet Avenue, the last remaining vacant lot on Whittier’s stretch of this important commercial corridor. The purchase of 2116 Nicollet Avenue is an opportunity for an inclusive, community-led, innovative real estate development which could have a resounding impact on the neighborhood for years to come. We hope to meet real community needs in creative ways, leading as an example of what is possible in the built environment. In September 2021, the WA Board of Directors convened a project steering committee to guide the process, and eventually develop an RFP and identify a development partner.

​2116 Nicollet Avenue Steering Committee

The 2116 Nicollet Avenue Steering Committee is a task force of The Whittier Alliance Board of Directors. The key function of the committee is to guide the development process of the lot owned by The Whittier Alliance located at 2116 Nicollet Avenue.

Over the next 12 months, this committee's primary responsibilities are to:
  • Define the vision/values/goals for the site
  • Develop and recommend a process for community engagement in partnership with WA staff
  • Develop and recommend a 2022 project budget to WA Board of Directors
  • Oversee the proposal process to identify a Real Estate Development Partner.
  • Document process and communicate updates to the board on a monthly basis, in alignment with scheduled board meetings.
  • Identify potential funding opportunities and support WA staff in grant application processes.
