Emerson Union

Emerson Union is a unique and fun project developed by Community Housing Development Corporation with help from the City of New Ulm and multiple community partners. The site was originally built in 1915 and listed on the Register of Historic Places in 2015. Until recently, the building has been used as the New Ulm High School. The rehabilitation to apartments began in 2017. It will preserve the historic elements including, but not limited to, built-in cabinets, chalk and bulletin boards, many windows, flooring, and woodwork.
Emerson will be made up of 49 apartments, as well as, a community room, craft room, fitness center, laundry room, playground, and exterior green space.
They offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Each unit offers a unique open floor plan, ample natural lighting through the new, large windows, and a mix of historic charm and modern finishes. Kitchens are complete with stainless steel appliances including an oversized refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and microwave. Kitchens are spacious with plenty of room for a dining table or island. A large laundry room is available on the lower level for all residents.

An application fee of $25/adult and a deposit of $500 is due with completed application.
