“The union community welcomes the HIT’s active investment in the Twin Cities. We know that with the HIT’s involvement, all the construction work will be done union. That means more family-supporting jobs for our members. We are proud that University and Fairview Apartments will provide high-quality union-built affordable housing for working families in St. Paul. ” —Don Mullin, Executive Secretary, Saint Paul Building and Construction Trades Council

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping to finance the $68.5 million new construction of Morrow in St. Paul, Minnesota.

HIT ROLE

The HIT closed this $52.5 million direct construction and bridge loan and sold $15 million to a local participant, holding $37.5 million in its portfolio. The HIT also made a forward commitment to purchase a $41.6 million Fannie Mae mortgage security backed by the permanent loan for the project.

SOCIAL IMPACT

In addition to creating the union construction work and other economic benefits shown below, 45% of the  units at Morrow will be restricted to tenants earning less than half  of AMI and the remainder to those earning under 80% of AMI. The project will use green construction practices and include many green features. It is expected to achieve national Green Communities certification and comply with local sustainable energy standards.
