Residential development breaks ground in Vandeventer neighborhood
Yaphett El-Amin partners with Kansas City-based Fulson Housing on Finney Place
Yaphett El-Amin and others recently broke ground on Finney Place, occupying the 4200 blocks of C.D. Banks, Finney, and Cook avenues in the city’s Vandeventer neighborhood. Left to right: Monica Cambell, vice president, Community Development Enterprise Bank; Dan Kania, dean of Academic Affairs, Ranken; Nancy Rodney, architect, Rosemann Architects; Kevin Buchek, general contractor, Roanoke Construction; Alderman Terry Kennedy; Committeeman Jessie Todd; El-Amin, developer; state Senator Jamilah Nasheed; Jeff Smith, executive director, Missouri Workforce Housing Association; Tarold Davis, vice president, Fulson Housing Group; Charles Quincy Troupe.

Fifteen years ago, Yaphett El-Amin was a state representative who wanted to revitalize the North St. Louis neighborhoods that she represented. She saw herself as a future state senator, maybe even a congresswoman someday, making policy that would uplift her community.

She never imagined back then that she would be rolling up her sleeves and redeveloping these neighborhoods herself – no longer in the rarefied air of the state Capitol, but one block at a time as an affordable housing developer.
​
“I grew up in a family of builders like my father, who used his carpentry skills to rehab our little North Side bungalow and make room for me and my siblings,” said El-Amin. “So I’m thrilled to be doing this work that both takes me back to my roots and rejuvenates our community.”
