Brooklyn Park Breaks Ground On Decatur Landing To Bolster Housing Diversity And Availability

In a move to address housing diversity and availability, Brooklyn Park city officials, in a joint initiative with Real Estate Equities and Big-D Companies, have ceremoniously initiated the construction of Decatur Landing Apartments – a new housing development designed to offer a combination of affordable and market-rate apartments. The project plans to introduce around 350 new units to the local market, as announced recently.

Assembling at the future site of the Decatur Landing, with a shovel in hand, Mayor Hollies Winston and other key figures marked the beginning of what they hope to enhance the housing options within the city borders. “This is a major step forward in our efforts to expand housing options for all Brooklyn Park residents,” Mayor Hollies Winston told officials and attendees during the ceremony, even as a critical mass of potential future residents await what is to come.

Equally integral to the narrative of Decatur Landing's realization is the emphasis on encompassing a wide economic demographic. "By offering a mix of affordable and market-rate units, this development ensures that people of all income levels have access to this high-quality housing," highlighted Community Development Director Tim Gladhill, according to details provided by the City of Brooklyn Park. The project is injected with expectations to contribute to the social fabric of Brooklyn Park, a city already amid its developmental renaissance.

United in their vision, private sector partners convey a sense of service and commitment behind their motivation for the project. "We are proud to partner with Brooklyn Park on this development," said Patrick Ostrom, Managing Development Partner at Real Estate Equities. "Our mission is to create housing that makes a difference, and Decatur Landing will do just that." Director of Business Development Kris Lynn, added, “For us, Decatur Landing is an opportunity to help build people’s futures. Families of all kinds will enjoy calling this place home,” which holds the promise of a budding community fabric woven from diverse socio-economic threads.

The completion of Decatur Landing Apartments is anticipated by late 2025, and interested parties should expect leasing opportunities to become available shortly thereafter. This forward-thinking project comes at a time when housing is not just a commodity, but represents stability and community — a fundamental cornerstone for individual prosperity and global vitality.
