The City of Humboldt will have a new look at their old hospital site. 

The long-vacant site has been sold to a developer who has plans to turn it into rental units. 

Humboldt’s Marketing and Development Manager Jarrett Delbridge told northeastNOW the property had been listed for a while. 

“The developer reached out and just like a typical real estate transaction, we put it together from there,” Delbridge said. 

Harvest Asset Management is proposing the construction of about 70 one and two-bedroom market rental units. The property will not feature subsidized housing. Delbridge said the high-value residential development is ideal for Humboldt.

“It transforms a long-vacant property, breathe some life into it,” Delbridge said. “We do have a severe need for rental properties in the community, considering our vacancy rate.” 

He said the development will offer another option for housing for people looking to move to the area for job opportunities like the BHP mine in Jansen. The trees and parks at the property will remain the same. 

“At Harvest, we do believe that this project is a much-needed addition to the Humboldt market,” President of Harvest Asset Management Stephen Gray said in a City of Humboldt news release. “The community has been experiencing diverse growth, and bringing in rental housing to the area allows workers and families to establish roots here more permanently. We pride ourselves on delivering housing that offers the amenities and quality today’s working individuals and families need to flourish in the community.” 

Mayor Rob Muench said in the release that the development is an exciting new chapter for the city. 

“For many years, the former hospital site has been a highly visible, underutilized property,” Muench said. “Seeing it transition into much-needed market rental, town house style, housing reflects Council’s commitment to responsible growth and thoughtful redevelopment. Projects like this help ensure Humboldt remains a welcoming and competitive community for new families, professionals, and investors alike, all while helping to elevate the tight housing market in our city.” 

Buildings are expected to be moved onto the site this fall, and Delbridge hopes to see occupancy in early 2027.
