“The St. Louis Building Trades is proud of their work with AFL-CIO HIT across the U.S. Projects like Heartland View in Missouri respond to critical housing needs for our local communities and feature 100% union construction for our local members.”

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust is helping to finance the new $37.4 million multifamily development, Heartland View Apartments (Heartland). Located outside the heart of St. Louis, the project features 201 units and boasts a campus-like area consisting of seven 3-story buildings on 13 acres of land. Heartland is conveniently situated in a developing neighborhood and is within proximity to many local amenities, schools, hospital, restaurants, and shopping. The project sits adjacent to Heartland Park, which hosts a lake, trails, and golf.
The complex will include a plethora of building amenities, including a business center, game room, theater area, community kitchen with bar seating, large lounge area, and a coffee bar. Outdoor amenities include a pool with nearby grills, pool furniture, fire pit, and an overhang with fans adjacent to a clubhouse with on-site leasing and management. The development also includes 367 parking stalls.
HIT ROLE
The HIT is providing $32.0 million in financing through the purchase of taxable Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificates and a Permanent Loan Certificate issued and serviced by Gershman. Part of the Midwest@Work Initiative, Heartland View Apartments is the 40th project HIT has financed in Missouri.
SOCIAL IMPACT
In addition to creating the union construction jobs and economic benefits shown above, the project will be constructed using energy-efficient and green building practices, and was designed to achieve a Bronze certification under the National Green Building Standard.
