Hubbell Realty Company will be constructing 48 townhomes in Oskaloosa, called Westgate Townhomes, beginning in late 2026. The $9.4 million project, which has received significant public support via IEDA’s Workforce Housing Tax Credits, a Thriving Community designation from the State of Iowa and brownfield funding, will be located at Suffolk Road and Coal Mine Loop, a rapidly developing area of Oskaloosa.
The 48-unit townhome community will feature 22 two-bedrooms and 28 three-bedroom homes, garages and include all appliances, washer and dryers, and private entrances.
“Despite experiencing healthy employment growth and recent business expansions to the region’s major employers, new rental housing supply has not matched the demand. We know it’s critical to provide a variety of housing options, both rentals and for sale products, to these middle communities and we’ve gotten really creative to make this project happen,” said Matt Weller, Vice President Development with Hubbell.
The surrounding area has been experiencing significant growth with Musco Sports Lighting recently completing a multi-million-dollar, 74,000 square foot renovation and expansion to its campus and announced a new 30,000-square-foot facility for product development and testing. Musco’s President Shelly Herr described the company’s expansion as a “signal that we’re planning to stay in Oskaloosa or we wouldn’t have spent the money to do that.”
Clow Valve, a local employer that specializes in waterworks infrastructure, recently completed a new $80 million, 36,000-square-foot expansion that is expected to double production capacity.
Construction is slated to begin in mid-to-late 2026 and complete in 2027.
