| HIT ROLE | The HIT is providing $8.3 million in financing through a construction and bridge loan participation with Bridgewater Bank. HIT also made a forward commitment to purchase a $9.0 million Fannie Mae mortgage security backed by the permanent loan for the project. Since 1991, the HIT has financed 119 projects in Minnesota and 88 projects in the Twin Cities, all built 100% with union construction labor. | |

The Project will meet SB2030 standards and is pursuing the Enterprise Green Communities standard and EnergyStar Multifamily New Construction Program requirements. |
