New History is dedicated to increasing the use and viability of historic buildings and sites. Our integrated team includes historians, design professionals, and consultants for historic building redevelopment - all with a depth of experience in the regulatory, financial, and physical framework of historic preservation. Based in Minneapolis, MN, New History works with a range of clients including regional and national real estate developers, cities, counties, architecture firms, and educational institutions, among others. We believe that buildings embody stories that tell us where we come from and who we are. We leverage this history for the sustainable reuse of our built environment, which is why we regard use as the best form of preservation.

An Architect is expected to bring the following expertise to our team and clients:

  • Design for Reuse: Ability to collaborate with clients and project teams to develop conceptual design solutions for building reuse that meet project requirements and historic preservation regulations.
  • Historical Architecture: Knowledge of historic materials and features and experience with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (“the Standards”).
    Historic Tax Credits: Experience with state and federal historic tax credits.
  • Building Assessments: Expertise in historic materials surveys and condition assessments, documentation of existing conditions, and development of prioritized recommendations for repair.
  • Construction Administration: Working knowledge of project delivery, construction administration processes, and compliance with historic preservation approvals during construction.
  • Consulting and Project Management: Client service, project communication, and execution of project strategies, including collaboration with team, clients, reviewing agencies, and stakeholders.
