It is a 48-unit complex oriented towards workforce housing. Waite Park Planning and Community Development Director Jon Noerenberg says the project does not have any city assistance, but it was awarded funds from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to help support workforce housing. The Workforce Housing Development Program targets small to mid-size communities with rental workforce housing needs and with proven job force growth.

The Vue Pointe Apartment complex did receive variance approvals from the city last year to allow for its configuration and development adjacent to the Sauk River and will cost about $11.6 million.
