Residential development and redevelopment

The HRA provides land for private development of affordable housing for renters and homeowners. The HRA may purchase substandard residential properties, demolish the structure and resell the vacant lot for new home construction. This improves neighborhoods by eliminating structures that negatively impact surrounding homes and provide opportunities for housing stability and homeownership.

700 American Redevelopment - Public Comments

700 American is a new construction, mixed use property totally 177,348 Gross Square Feet. The building will consist of 128 affordable apartment homes (133,436 SF) and approximately 1500 square feet of ground level commercial space. The project will be completed in one phase. 700 American will sit on on a 1.85 acre site and will be comprised of one building. The property will be acquired by the developer from the City of Bloomington, who currently owns the site.

The proposed project will provide affordable units averaging to 50% of AMI for seniors (55+) within the City of Bloomington. As identified in the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan, it is anticipated that the population over the age of 65 will increase by 40% in the City by 2030. By 2040, over one quarter of the population is forecast to be seniors within Bloomington. The proposed project provides much needed population-specific affordable housing.
