The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping to finance the $50.4 million development of Gateway Apartments (“Gateway”), located in Chicago’s dynamic Illinois Medical District (“IMD”). The IMD is a 560-acre community, home to 40 healthcare organizations including major health systems, research labs, universities, and biotech innovators.

In addition to creating 382,510 hours of union construction work, 17 units at Gateway will be available to tenants at rents from 12% to 33% below market rates for the first 10 years after construction is completed. Because of the project’s location in the IMD, the developer has also agreed to market units to essential union workers, including nurses, emergency medical technicians, healthcare workers, firefighters, etc.

The HIT made a 36-month forward commitment to purchase a $43.5 million multifamily permanent loan participation certificate guaranteed by Freddie Mac to finance the project. Construction will be subject to the HIT’s 100% union labor requirement. Gateway Apartments is the HIT’s 56th project in Chicago and 108th in Illinois, and is part of the HIT’s $1 billion Midwest@Work Initiative.

Additional information on Gateway Apartments can be found on the HIT’s website.
