HIT Continues its Mission in Minnesota with Three Recent Commitments

In 2025, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (“HIT”) deepened its commitment to Minnesota communities by committing to finance three new developments in the state. These investments will generate high-quality union construction jobs, expand access to housing, and strengthen the communities in which they are built.

 

Beltline Station Building 1 & Building 3
St. Louis Park, MN

In St. Louis Park, HIT is helping to finance the new construction of two residential buildings within the Beltline Station development. HIT’s combined $31.0 million investment will support the development of Building 1, a 7-story mixed-use structure with 152 rental housing units, and Building 3, a 5-story residential building with 146 rental units. The combined total development cost of both buildings is approximately $108.9 million. These projects will generate an estimated 730,270 hours of union construction work and create a total $108.9 million in economic benefit.

 

Estoria Cooperative Oak Marsh
Oakdale, MN

In Oakdale, HIT is helping to finance the $44.7 million new construction of Estoria Cooperative Oak Marsh. The senior housing community will offer 87 units of housing once complete. The development will generate an estimated 325,400 hours of union construction work and create a total $73.5 million economic benefit.

 

 

These new commitments are the latest example of the HIT delivering on its mission of providing investors with competitive risk adjusted returns while directly financing construction projects built with 100% union labor, providing jobs and economic benefit directly to communities across the nation. Since its inception, HIT has provided $2.0 billion in financing to 118 projects in Minnesota. These investments have created 15,0257 units of housing across the state. We look forward to continuing this momentum by supporting projects that strengthen communities, create quality union jobs, and deliver long-term value for our investors.
