SAINT PAUL, MN - Tareen Development Partners (TDP) announced the successful acquisition of Afton View Apartments, a 286-unit housing community located in St. Paul, MN. This is TDP's third affordable housing acquisition in the Twin Cities.
Originally built in 1971, Afton View Apartments has served as an important housing resource for decades. The property includes 268 units supported by a HUD project-based Section 8 contract, providing stable housing for working families and residents across the community.
TDP plans to perform a substantial rehabilitation of the property utilizing 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and tax-exempt bond financing later in 2026. These renovations will extend the useful life of much-needed affordable housing and provide significant upgrades to in-unit, common-area, mechanical, and amenity areas.
"The preservation of affordable housing communities like Afton View Apartments is critically important for the long-term stability of the Twin Cities housing market," said Dr. Basir Tareen, founder and CEO of TDP. "This project represents a significant reinvestment into the property and reflects our commitment to providing residents with high-quality housing while maintaining long-term affordability."
This acquisition could not have been possible without TDP's development partners, Bridgewater Bank, Winthrop & Weinstine, the City of Saint Paul, and Stewart Title Company.
