FARGO, N.D. — WNC & Associates and BlueLine Development, along with partner Fargo Housing Redevelopment Authority, have closed a deal to commence construction on Lashkowitz Riverfront Apartments, a 110-unit affordable housing development in Fargo. The new project will replace an older affordable housing community on the same lot. Once the tallest building in Fargo, the previous 22-story property lost its efficiency, was vacated and demolished by implosion in September 2023. The new development will feature four upper levels of affordable housing and a ground floor with commercial space. Amenities will include community rooms, lounges, a rooftop patio, exercise room and free laundry. As a fully Section 8 community, Lashkowitz Riverfront Apartments will serve families earning between 30 and 50 percent of the area median income. The unit breakdown includes 52 one-bedroom units, 36 two-bedroom units and 22 three-bedroom residences. The property will overlook the Red River in the middle of downtown Fargo, bordering the Minnesota state line. The deal was structured with 4 percent and 9 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, with financing from the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency Housing Trust Fund and Fargo Housing Capital Fund. Completion is slated for December 2025.
