ST. PAUL, MINN. — Dougherty Mortgage has arranged a $31.5 million HUD 221(d)(4) loan for the construction of Union Flats in St. Paul. The 217-unit affordable housing property will be located at the intersection of Territorial Road and Hampden Avenue. All units will be restricted to residents earning 60 percent or less of the area median income. The project will be constructed on a site currently occupied by the Hunt Electric Corp. building, which will be demolished. Amenities will include a community room with kitchen, outdoor patio, fitness room, rooftop deck, dog park and storage lockers.
Dougherty arranged the 40-year loan for the borrower, St. Paul Leased Housing Associates VIII LLLP. The project will also receive equity through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, as well as funds from the Metropolitan Council (a regional government agency), the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and Ramsey County, to be used for environmental cleanup costs.
