South Point apartment project breaks ground in New York Mills

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – Officials broke ground for the South Point Apartment project in New York Mills last Thursday.

Once completed in the winter of 2024, the project will provide 60, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and developers hope the project will address the housing shortages in the area. 

Amenities for the new complex, located on the south end of New York Mills, west of County Road 67, will include in-unit washers/dryers, detached and tuck-under garages, a fitness center, and outdoor entertainment areas.

New York Mills City Clerk, Julie Roberts, expressed her excitement for the project. 

Roberts said: “We feel very lucky to see this project move forward and have a developer partner that wants to make this investment in our community because we do have a housing shortage. The South Point Apartments will provide another type of housing for residents in our community.”

The project was supported by an infrastructure grant from Otter Tail County’s Community Development Agency (CDA) and tax abatement from Otter Tail County, the city of New York Mills, and School District 553.
