MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN Z. LEE, United States District JudgeCook County has filed a claim under the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-19, against Defendants HSBC North America Holdings, Inc., and its various subsidiaries and affiliates. The County alleges that Defendants discriminatorily targeted minority homeowners in Cook County for predatory subprime mortgage loans, which resulted in thousands of housing foreclosures. According to the County, these foreclosures in turn caused a decline in tax revenue, an erosion of the County’s tax base, harm to the County’s ability to provide services to its residents, and general urban blight. Defendants move to dismiss the County’s Amended Complaint, arguing that it lacks constitutional and statutory standing to maintain this claim. Defendants also contend that the FHA claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, alternatively, fails to state a claim. For the following reasons, Defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied.
I. Factual Background1
Cook County brings claims of intentional discrimination, disparate impact, and disparate treatment under the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) against Defendants. The gist of the County’s claim is that Defendants targeted minority borrowers for their subprime mortgage products, designed those loans to fail, and, consequently, caused thousands of foreclosures in Cook County resulting in widespread economic and noneconomic harm. In so doing, at least according to the County, Defendants engaged in' discriminatory lending practices and implemented facially-neutral practices that had a racial disparate impact. The County’s Amended Complaint contains a slew of allegations describing the subprime mortgage lending crisis in general and Defendants’ lending practices in particular. The Court will attempt to summarize them below.
Predatory lending was rampant in the subprime mortgage industry between 2003 and 2007. See generally Ám. Compl. ¶¶ 8-9, 47-58. During this time, African-American and Latino borrowers were more likely to pay higher prices for mortgage loans than Caucasian borrowers. See id. ¶50. Data collected pursuant to. the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”) and analyzed by the Federal Reserve confirms this disparity. See id. ¶ 51.
The Federal Reserve analysis shows that on average African-American borrowers were 3.1 times more likely than nonmi-nority borrowers to receive a higher-rate home loan; Latino borrowers were 1.9 times more likely. See id. ¶ 52. Other statistics show similar patterns: African-Americans were 37.5 percent more likely to receive a higher-priced conventional home-purchase loan, and 28.3 percent *957more likely to receive a higher-priced refinance loan. See id. ¶¶ 53-54. A U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development study-found that, in neighborhoods where at least 80% of the population was African-American, borrowers were 2.2 times more likely to refinance with a sub-prime lender. See id. ¶ 55.
Cook County alleges that Defendants intentionally targeted and marketed to borrowers in predominantly minority areas in the County in order to grow their sub-prime mortgage lending business. See id. ¶¶ 41-46. Defendants used sophisticated algorithmic modeling to target minority borrowers as well as software programs to process credit bureau information in an effort to identify consumers best suited to receive, and respond to subprime mortgage marketing'materials. See id. ¶¶ 76,78, 80-87. The targeting marketing strategy un-dergirded a general strategy of “upselling” to minority borrowers. See id. ¶ 79.
When selling these loan products to minority borrowers, Defendants engaged in discretionary pricing practices that resulted in higher costs of borrowing for minority borrowers. See id. ¶¶ 100-105. In fact, even after controlling for credit risk, minority borrowers were substantially more likely to pay higher charges on the loan products Defendants offered as compared to similarly situated nonminority borrowers. See id. ¶¶ 109,112-13. Furthermore, Defendants ineentivized their employees to override or circumvent underwriting criteria to steer otherwise qualified minority borrowers to higher cost loans than those provided to similarly situated nonmiority borrowers and to approve otherwise unqualified minority borrowers for high cost loans. See id. ¶ 131.
In addition, the County alleges that, even after the financial crisis, Defendants continued to engage in these practices by continuing to impose and enforce the discriminatory pricing terms and servicing the predatory- loans in a discriminatory manner for financial gain. See generally id. ¶¶ 259-281;’ These ongoing predatory and discriminatory mortgage lending and servicing practices effectively diluted or, in some cases, eliminated the equity the borrowers had in their homes, thereby placing them in greater risk of delinquency, default and eventual foreclosure. See id. ¶¶ 282, 284-85.
The large volume of defaults in the affected communities lowered home values, decreased county tax revenues, and resulted in vacant or abandoned properties that forced the County to provide additional services in these communities at increased costs.' See id. ¶ 285. In fact, based upon academic literature, the County estimates that each foreclosure resulted in up ■ to $34,000 in community wide damages. See id. ¶ 307. -
II. Legal Standards
A. Rule 12(b)(1) and Subject Matter Jurisdiction
A motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) tests the jurisdictional sufficiency of the complaint. “When ruling on a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1), the district court must accept as true all well-pleaded factual allegations, and draw reasonable inferences in- favor of the plaintiff.” Ezekiel v. Michel, 66 F.3d 894, 897 (7th Cir.1995). But “[t]he district court may properly look beyond the jurisdictional allegations of the complaint and view whatever evidence has been submitted on the issue to determine whether in fact subject matter jurisdiction exists.” Capitol Leasing Co. v. F.D.I.C., 999 F.2d 188, 191 (7th Cir.1993) (quoting Grafon Corp. v. Hausermann, 602 F.2d 781, 783 (7th Cir,1979)). “[I]f the complaint is formally sufficient but the contention is that there is in fact no subject *958matter jurisdiction, the movant may use affidavits and other material to support the motion.” United Phosphorus, Ltd. v. Angus Chem. Co., 322 F.3d 942, 946 (7th Cir.2003), overruled on other, grounds by Minn-Chem, Inc. v. Agrium, Inc., 683 F.3d 845 (7th Cir.2012). “The burden of proof on a 12(b)(1) issue is on the party asserting jurisdiction.” Id.
B. Rule 12(b)(6) and Failure to State a Claim
To survive a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), the complaint must “state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007)). The factual allegations in the complaint must at least “raise a right to relief above the speculative level.” Bell Atl. Corp., 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955. The Court must accept as true all well-pleaded allegations in the complaint and draw all possible inferences in the plaintiffs favor. See Tamayo, 526 F.3d at 1081. Mere legal conclusions, however, “are not entitled to the assumption of truth.” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 679, 129 S.Ct. 1937.
III. Analysis
A. Article III Standing
Defendants first argue, under Rule 12(b)(1), that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the County’s FHA claim because the County does not possess Article III standing to pursue it. Article III • standing requires that the County plead: “(i) an injury in fact, which is an invasion of a legally protected interest that is concrete and particularized'and, thus, actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical; (ii) a causal relation between the injury and the challenged conduct, . such that the injury can be fairly traced to the- challenged action of the defendant; and (iii) a likelihood that the injury will be redressed'by a favorable decision.” Wis. Right to Life, Inc. v. Schober, 366 F.3d 485, 489 (7th Cir.2004) (quotations omitted); see also Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992). At the pleadings stage, “[a] plaintiff must allege personal injury fairly traceable to the defendant’s allegedly unlawful conduct and likely to be redressed by the requested relief.” Hein v. Freedom from Religion Found., Inc., 551 U.S. 587, 598, 127 S.Ct. 2553, 168 L.Ed.2d 424 (2007); see also Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.S. 490, 508, 95 S.Ct. 2197, 45 L.Ed.2d 343 (1975) (a plaintiff “must allege specific, concrete facts demonstrating that the challenged practices harm him, and that he personally would benefit in a tangible way from the court’s intervention.”).
“The party invoking federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing these elements.” Lujan, 504 U.S. at 561, 112 S.Ct. 2130, But “[a] motion to dismiss for lack of stánding should not be granted unless there are no set of facts consistent with the complaint’s allegations that could establish standing.” Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians v. Norton, 422 F.3d 490, 498 (7th Cir.2005). “At the pleading stage, general factual allegations of injury resulting from the defendant’s conduct may suffice, for' on a motion to dismiss we ‘presum[e] that general allegations embrace those specific facts that are necessary to support the claim.’ ” Lujan, 504 U.S. at 561, 112 S.Ct. 2130 (quoting Lujan v. Nat’l Wildlife Fed’n, 497 U.S. 871, 889, 110 S.Ct. 3177, 111 L.Ed.2d 695 (1990)).
Here, Defendants contend that the County fails to plead the requisite injury-in-fact as well as the causal relationship *959necessary to satisfy Article III.2
1. Injury-in-Fact
Turning first to the injury-in-fact inquiry, “[t]o confer standing, an injury must be ‘particularized,’ meaning that it ‘must affect the plaintiff in a personal and individual way.’ ” Lac Du Flambeau Band, 422 F.3d at 496 (quoting Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. at 560 n.1, 112 S.Ct. 2130). According to Defendants, the County only alleges a “general decrease in tax revenue,” an “increase in cost of government services,” a county-wide increase in the tax digest, and a generalized increase in “out-of-pocket costs,” none of which, Defendants argue, meet Article Ill’s requirement of a concrete, particularized injury. See Am. Compl. ¶¶ 285, 298, 310. The County counters that it has alleged numerous concrete and particularized injuries, including: (1) various economic harms; (2) noneconomic harms to the community, including deterioration and blight; and (3) harms to the County’s ability to govern due to financial strain on various agencies and departments. See Pl’s Mem. Opp’n 7 n.14 (citing Am. Compl. ¶¶ 3, 5,26, 282, 285, 290-98, 300).
The County adequately pleads an injury-in-fact. While the County’s asserted economic harms may be “general” at this point, “the particularity requirement does not mean ... that a plaintiff lacks standing merely because it asserts an injury that is shared by many people.” Lac Du Flambeau Band, 422 F.3d at 496. Nor are these harms not “concrete” because they are general economic harms. See Gladstone Realtors v. Vill. of Bellwood, 441 U.S. 91, 110-11, 99 S.Ct. 1601, 60 L.Ed.2d 66 (1979) (tax base harm to village qualified as a concrete ■ injury for standing purposes under the FHA). And as the Seventh Circuit has noted, “a plaintiff suing pursuant to the FHA need not be a member of the class that was the object of discrimination to satisfy the injury-in-fact requirement.” Gorski v. Troy, 929 F.2d 1183, 1189 (7th Cir.1991). The precise nature and extent of the economic harms can be ferreted out through discovery. See Pl.’s Mem. Opp’n 7, n.14 (noting that the decline in property values can be “precisely determined through regression analysis”).
In addition to economic harms, the County alleges noneconomic harms as well, including urban blight, community deterioration, and organizational harm suffered by the County due to increased costs and decreased revenue. It is well-established that such noneconomic harms satisfy Article Ill’s injury-in-fact requirement under the FHA. See Vill. of Arlington Heights v. Metro. Hous. Dev. Corp., 429 U.S. 252, 262-63, 97 S.Ct. 555, 50 L.Ed.2d 450 (1977) (“It has long been clear that economic injury is not the only kind of injury that can support a plaintiffs standing” under the FHA); see also Sierra Club v. Morton, 405 U.S. 727, 734-735, 92 S.Ct. 1361, 31 L.Ed.2d 636 (1972) (noneconomic injuries suffice for standing purposes). Here, the County has alleged harms sufficient to satisfy Article Ill’s injury-in-fact requirement.
2. Causation
To satisfy the causation prong of Article III standing, the injury complained of “must be fairly traceable to the challenged action of the defendant — i.e., there must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct.” Sterk v. Redbox Automated Retail, LLC, 770 F.3d 618, *960623 (7th Cir.2014). “If the plaintiffs injury is not fairly traceable to the defendant; the plaintiff lacks standing to bring suit against the defendant, and the federal court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter.” Johnson v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 719 F.3d 601, 602 (7th Cir.2013). Importantly, “a plaintiff does not lack standing merely because the defendant is one ■ of several persons who- caused the harm.” Lac Du Flambeau Band, 422 F.3d at 500. But “[i]f the ‘independent action of some third party not before the court’ causes [Plaintiffs harm], then the complaint fails the traceability test.” Sierra Club v. Franklin Cnty. Power of Illinois, LLC, 546 F.3d 918, 926 (7th Cir.2008) (quoting Texas Indep. Producers & Royalty Owners Ass’n v. EPA, 410 F.3d 964, 972 (7th Cir.2005)).
In its allegations, the County traces a causal connection between Defendants’ discriminatory lending practices, on the one hand, and high rates of loan defaults and the resulting home foreclosures, on the other.
• Defendants intentionally employed discriminatory practices . by making loans that wei-e designed to fail .and targeting these loans to minority borrowers; these practices included top-down corporate level policies implementing the scheme and continued servicing, of the predatory loans until failure. See Am. Compl. ¶¶ 4, •7, 44]' 61-65, 68-69, 73-75, 78-132, 139, 141-80, 233-35; 237-39,' 259-8Í, ■ 316,318.'
• Defendants supported loan origina-tions, wholesále loan purchases, and the funding of loans made by brokers in minority communities' and concealed their scheme while their actions caused increased loan defaults, home vacancies, and foreclosures. in the County. See Am. Compl. ¶¶ 4-15, 19, 21-22, 24-26, 221-46, 248-58.
• Defendants’ lending and securitization practices, in concert with other industry participant’s practices, caused the financial crisis of 2008. See Am. Compl ¶¶4,'19, 25, 221-43.
Congressional and statistical findings support the County’s position that the predatory loan terms and manner in which the loans were made, underwritten, and serviced caused the historically unprecedented loan defaults and foreclosures that disparately impacted Plaintiffs communities. See Am. Compl. ¶¶ ¶¶ 8, 9, 15, 19, 50-58, 109, 112-13, 229-258, 282-89, 298, 304
Defendants do not seriously dispute the link between home foreclosures and the economic and noneconomic injuries alleged by the County here. It is quite plausible that a high number of foreclosures and their accompanying vacancies would cause a reduction in. property values, an erosion of the tax base, an increase in the need for costly municipal services, as well as, at times, blight and aesthetic decline. Rather, they argue that the foreclosures could have been caused by a number of factors, other than the alleged discriminatory conduct, such as a loss of employment, illness, or other personal tragedies. This may' be true, but “a plaintiff does not lack standing merely because the defendant is one of several persons who caused the harm.” Lac Du Flambeau Band, 422 F.3d at 500. Where, as here, the alleged conduct plausibly contributed to the harm, Article III standing exists. See Smith v. United Residential Servs. & Real Estate, Inc., 837 F.Supp.2d 818, 825 (N.D.Ill.2011) (noting that allegations of loan discrimination sufficient for causation at the pleading stage); see also Steele v. GE Money Bank, No. 08 *961C 1880, 2009 WL 893860, at *5 (N.D.Ill. Feb. 17, 2009).
Defendants also rely on the argument that the County has identified no specific properties in its complaint. In support of this argument, Defendants cite to Mayor & City Council of Baltimore v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 677 F.Supp.2d 847, 850 (D.Md.2010), and City of Birmingham v. Citigroup Inc., No. CV-09-BE-467-S, 2009 WL 8652915, at *1 (N.D.Ala. Aug. 19, 2009). But Baltimore and Birmingham are not controlling on this Court, and in any event, the Court declines to adopt their reasoning.
As the County points out, Birmingham relied heavily on Tingley v. Beazer Homes Corp., No. 3:07-CV-176, 2008 WL 1902108 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 25, 2008), a case that did not examine Gladstone, the seminal case. See 2009 WL 8652915, at *3. Moreover, Birmingham did not discuss any of the allegations in the complaint in its analysis. City of Los Angeles v. Citigroup Inc., 24 F.Supp.3d 940, 950 (C.D.Cal.2014). As for Baltimore, the court initially dismissed the city’s complaint for failure to allege the number of properties subject to foreclosure due to the defendants’ loan practices. 677 F.Supp.2d at 850. But the court subsequently allowed the case to go forward once the city had alleged that specific properties would have been vacant “but for” the challenged conduct. See Mayor & City Council of Baltimore v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. CIV. JFM-08-62, 2011 WL 1557759, at *3 (D.Md. Apr. 22, 2011). The County here has made the same allegations.
Additionally, Defendants argue that the “chain of causation” between the challenged lending practices and the alleged injury simply does not exist as a matter of fact. But, such arguments are the kind of “factual” as opposed to “facial” attack on jurisdiction that is more appropriate after discovery. See Apex Digital, Inc. v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 572 F.3d 440, 444 (7th Cir.2009) (“[A] factual challenge lies where the complaint is formally sufficient but the contention is that there is in fact no subject matter jurisdiction.”) (internal quotations omitted). Once causation is sufficiently pleaded, further adjudication of causality is better left to summary judgment. See Steele, 2009 WL 393860, at *5 (noting that factual disputes over causation “cannot be resolved via a motion to dismiss”). Here, the County alleges that Defendants made discriminatory loans on properties- located within its community. Measured against the background principle that “[a] motion to dismiss for lack of standing should not be granted unless there are no set of facts consistent with the complaint’s allegations that could establish standing,” the County has sufficiently alleged Article.Ill causation to establish constitutional standing. See Lac Du Flambeau Band, 422 F.3d at 498.
B. “Statutory Standing” and Lex- . mark International • .
Defendants also argue that, the County lacks statutory standing — also known as “prudential standing” — and point to Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc., — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 1377, 188 L.Ed.2d 392 (2014). In Lexmark, the Supreme Court shifted the landscape of prudential standing analysis. Finding the label “prudential standing” to be “misleading,” the Supreme Court, instead adopted the “zone of interests” test, noting that “[w]hether a plaintiff comes within ‘the zone of interests’ is an issue that requires us to determine, using traditional tools of statutory interpretation, whether a legislatively conferred cause of action encompasses a particular plaintiffs claim.” Id. at 1387. “In sum, the question ... is whether [plaintiff] falls within the *962class of plaintiffs whom Congress has authorized to sue under [the statute].” Id; see Empress Casino Joliet Corp. v. Johnston, 763 F.3d 723, 733-34 (7th Cir.2014) (holding “whether a plaintiff may sue ‘is an issue that requires us to determine, using traditional tools of statutory interpretation, whether a legislatively conferred cause of action encompasses a particular plaintiffs claim’ ”) (quoting Lexmark, 134 S.Ct. at 1387).3
Accordingly, under Lexmark, a plaintiff that brings a statutory cause of action must, in addition to meeting Article III’s “case or controversy” requirement, show that: (1) its injury is within the “zone of interests” protected by the statute and (2) its injury was proximately caused by a violation of the statute. 134 S.Ct. at 1388-91. Defendants argue that the County fails to satisfy these two requirements of statutory standing.
1. “Zone of Interests” and the FHA
Starting with the statutory text, the FHA authorizes any “aggrieved person” to file suit. 42 U.S.C. § 3613. “An aggrieved person” is anyone who “claims to have been injured by a discriminatory housing practice,” or “believes that such pej-son will be injured by a discriminatory housing practice that is about to occur.” Id. .§ 3602(i). Defendants argue that the County does not fall within this definition and, as a result, has no statutory standing to sue under the FHA.
Any review of standing under the FHA must start with the Supreme Court’s decision, in Gladstone Realtors v. Village of Bellwood. There, a group of resident “testers” and the local municipality filed claim under the FHA, alleging racially discriminatory, conduct on the part of real estate brokerage firms and their employees. The Gladstone defendants argued, among other things, that the Village *963lacked standing under the statute,. The Supreme Court found otherwise, stating:
A significant reduction in property values directly injures a municipality by diminishing its tax base, thus threatening its ability to bear the costs of local government and to provide services. Other harms flowing from the realities of a racially segregated community aré not unlikely. As we have said before, there can be no question about the importance to a community of “promoting stable, racially integrated housing. If, as alleged, petitioners’ sales practices actually have begun to rob Bellwood of its racial balance and stability, the village has standing to challenge the legality of that conduct. '
441 U.S. at 110-11, 99 S.Ct. 1601. The Supreme Court then concluded, “Standing under § 812, like that under § 810,.is as broa[d] as is permitted by Article III of the Constitution.” Id. at 109, 99 S.Ct. 1601 (quoting Trafficante v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., 409 U.S. 205, 209, 93 S.Ct. 364, 34 L.Ed.2d 415 (1972)).
In Havens Realty Corp. v. Coleman, the Supreme Court reaffirmed its holding in Gladstone: “Congress intended standing under § 812 [of the FHA] to extend to the full limits of Art. III and that the courts accordingly lack the authority to create prudential barriers to standing in suits brought under that section.” 455 U.S. 363, 372, 102 S.Ct. 1114, 71 L.Ed.2d 214 (1982) (quoting Gladstone, 441 U.S. at 103, n. 9, 99 S.Ct. 1601). In so doing, the Supreme Court discussed the distinction between “direct” harm and “indirect harm” under the FHÁ: “the concept of ‘neighborhood’ standing differs from that of ‘tester’ standing in that the injury asserted is an indirect one: an adverse impact on the neighborhood in which the plaintiff resides resulting from the steering of persons other than the plaintiff____ By contrast, the injury underlying tester standing — the. denial of the tester’s own statutory right to truthful housing information caused by misrepresentations to the tester — is a direct one.” Id. at 375, 102 S.Ct. 1114. The Court, however, determined that the distinction was. of little significance because “the only requirement for standing to sue under § 812 is the Art. III requirement of injury in fact.” Id. at 375-76, 102 S.Ct. 1114.
The Seventh Circuit, after examining Gladstone and Havens Realty, has explicitly noted that “[t]he,[Supreme] Court held that the only requirement for standing to sue under the FHA is the Art. III minima of injury in fact: that the plaintiff allege that as a result of the defendant’s actions he has suffered a- distinct and palpable injury.” Gorski, 929 F.2d at 1188 (examining Gladstone and Havens Realty) (internal quotations omitted); see also New W., L.P. v. City of Joliet, 491 F.3d 717, 721 (7th Cir.2007) (“[T]he Supreme Court.has held that only the Constitution’s own requirements, and not any prudential supplements, apply to litigation under [the FHA].”); Alschuler v. Dep’t of Hous. & Urban Dev., 686 F.2d 472, 477 (7th Cir. 1982) (“[T]he [Supreme] Court in Trafi-cante ... held that Congress intended to define standing [under the FHA] as broadly as is permitted by Article III.”).
In short, “[b]oth Gladstone and Havens Realty exemplify the Court’s recognition of the congressional intent to apply broad standing principles under the Act.” Gorski, 929 F.2d at 1188. The County meets these broad standing principles here. It has alleged a rather straightforward FHA claim: Defendants targeting minority borrowers for predatory home mortgage loans and imposed higher loan costs and servicing fees on them as compared to similarly situated nonminority borrowers. These discriminatory actions increased the mi*964nority borrowers’ risks of default and foreclosure, resulting in a rash of foreclosures in the county, which in turn caused economic and noneconomic injury to the County. Taking these allegations to be true, the County satisfies the requirements of Article III standing as discussed above and, consequently, falls within the zone of interests of the FHA.
For their part, Defendants rely on Thompson v. North American Stainless, LP, 562 U.S. 170, 131 S.Ct. 863, 178 L.Ed.2d 694 (2011), which they argue narrowed the “person aggrieved” inquiry under the “zone of interests” test and abrogated Trafficante and Gladstone. But Thompson was a case decided under Title VII, not Title VIII; and this Court ..is obliged to follow the Seventh Circuit’s adoption of Gladstone, until the Supreme Court or the Seventh Circuit expressly states otherwise.
The Court recognizes that a recent decision in this district has taken a different view, holding that Thompson effectively overruled Gladstone in substance, if not in word. See Cnty. of Cook v. Wells Fargo & Co., No. 14 C 9548, 115 F.Supp.3d 909, 915-18, 2015 WL 4397842, at * *5-6 (N.D.Ill. July 17, 2015). But this holding appears in tension with Gorski and the other Seventh Circuit cases discussed above, and the Court declines to adopt such a sweeping view of Thompson given existing Seventh Circuit precedents. Instead, this Court agrees with another court in this district that found statutory standing under similar circumstances. See Cnty. of Cook v. Bank of Am. Corp., No. 14 C 2280, 2015 WL 1303313, at *4 (N.D.Ill. Mar. 19, 2015) (examining Thompson but holding that, because of Gladstone, “the term ‘aggrieved’ in [the FHA] reaches as far as Article III permits”).
Defendants also rely on Alschuler for its narrower application of the “zone-of-interests” test under the FHA. But City of Milwaukee v. Block, 823 F.2d 1158 (7th Cir.1987); explicitly abrogated this aspect of Alschuler. See Cornell Vill. Tower Condo. v. Dep’t of Hous. & Urban Dev., 750 F.Supp. 909, 919 (N.D.Ill.1990).
This leaves Defendants’ reliance on several cases from other districts, principally City of Miami v. Bank of Am. Corp., No. 13-24506-CIV, 2014 WL 3362348 (S.D.Fla. July 9, 2014). There, the district court held that the City of Miami lacked statutory standing to bring FHA claims against a bank based on allegations similar to. those here. But the Eleventh Circuit recently reversed stating, “Simply put, Trafficante, Gladstone, and Havens have never been overruled, and the law of those cases is clear as a bell: ‘[statutory] standing under [the FHA] extends as broadly as is permitted by Article III of the Constitution.’ ” City of Miami v. Bank of Am. Corp., 800 F.3d 1262, 1277, 2015 WL 5102581, at *11 (11th Cir. Sept. 1, 2015) (quoting Gladstone, 441 U.S. at 98, 99 S.Ct. 1601). In arriving at this decision, the Eleventh Circuit considei-ed the contrary ruling in this district in Cnty. of Cook v. Wells Fargo & Co., but concluded that “Thompson itself was a Title VII case, not a Fair Housing Act case.... Thompson surveyed Trafficante and Gladstone, but did not explicitly overrule them — nor could it, given the different statutory context in which it arose.” Id. at 1277, at *12.
For these reasons, the Court holds that the County meets the requirements of the “zone of interest” test to establish statutory standing under the FHA.
2. Proximate Causation
In addition to falling within the FHA’s “zone of interest,” the County must also show that its injuries were proximately caused by a violation of the statute. See Lexmark 134 S.Ct. at 1390. Here, the *965County has cited to numerous studies and statistical data that link predatory lending practices, such as those alleged here, to the large number of foreclosures in predominantly minority communities. See, e.g., Am. Compl. ¶¶ 244-56. And, based on these data, the County asserts that the large number of foreclosures would not have taken place “but for” the Defendants’ discriminatory loan practices. See, e.g., id. ¶ 258 (“But for Defendants’ predatory and discriminatory actions alleged herein, the foreclosure rate among, and the number of foreclosures experiences by, FHA protected minority borrowers in Plaintiff’s communities and neighborhoods would have been far lower.”). These allegations are sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss. See City of Miami, 800 F.3d at 1281-84, 2015 WL 5102581 at **16-17 (finding plaintiff’s allegations sufficient to plead proximate cause); Cnty. of Cook, 2015 WL 1303313 at *4 (finding that “the causal connection between Defendants’ alleged conduct and the County’s injuries is at least plausible.”).
Nevertheless, Defendants argue that the County has not. met the proximate causation standard because it has not identified specific properties that were subject to foreclosure due to the alleged conduct. But, again, this amounts to a factual attack on causation that is best deferred to a motion for summary judgment. See Reynolds v. CB Sports Bar, Inc., 623 F.3d 1143, 1152 (7th Cir.2010) (“[T]he lack of proximate cause should only be determined by the court where the facts alleged do not sufficiently demonstrate both cause in fact and legal cause” and noting that summary judgment presents another opportunity to raise the issue, “at which point [the plaintiff] will have to do more than simply allege proximate cause.”).
C. The Statute of Limitations
Defendants also argue that the County’s claims are barred by the statute of limitations. The FHA provides that “[a]n aggrieved person may commence a civil action ... not later than 2 years after the occurrence or the termination of an alleged . discriminatory housing practice ... whichever occurs last.” 42 U.S.C. § 3613(a)(1)(A). The County filed its lawsuit -on March 21, 2014, and therefore the relevant two-year period reaches back to March 21, 2012.- According to Defendants, the County offers no allegations of incidents after 2007; ■ moreover, to cover all bases, Defendants contend that the continuing violation doctrine does not apply. Defendants’ arguments are unavailing.
Here, the County has alleged that Defendants are still engaged in their discriminatory mortgage lending practices and continue to service the loans in a discriminatory manner.,- See, generally Am. Compl,¶¶259-81. “[W]here a plaintiff, pursuant to the Fair Housing Act, challenges not just one incident of conduct violative of the Act, but an unlawful practice that continues into the limitations period, the complaint is timely when it is filed within 180 days of the last asserted occurrence of that practice.” Havens Realty, 455 U.S. at 380-81, 102 S.Ct. 1114. Under both the plain language of 42 U.S.C. § 3613(a)(1)(A) and the reasoning of Havens Realty, which § 3613(a)(1)(A) codified, the County’s claims do not run afoul of the statute of limitations.
In any event, Defendants’ statute of limitations argument is premature. A motion' to dismiss- on an- affirmative defense like statute of limitations is typically inappropriate. “[Wjhere a defendant raises the statute of limitations as an affirmative defense at the motion to dismiss stage, -a court can only dismiss a claim ‘when [the] complaint plainly reveals that an action is untimely under the governing stat*966ute of limitations.” Reiser v. Residential Funding Corp., 380 F.3d 1027, 1030 (7th Cir.2004). See Jovic v. L-3 Servs., Inc., 69 F.Supp.3d 750, 765 (N.D.Ill. Sept. 24, 2014) (quoting Andonissamy v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 547 F.3d 841, 847 (7th Cir.2008)). This rule, of course, applies to FHA claims. See, e.g., Jafri v. Chandler LLC, 970 F.Supp.2d 852, 865 (N.D.Ill.2013) (“[Limitations defense fails.at the pleadings stage” where the complaint does not admit the ingredients of a statute of limitations defense). ,. .. .
Here, the Court cannot say that the County has pleaded itself-out .of court on statute of limitations grounds. Accordingly, Defendants’ motion to dismiss based upon the statute of limitations is denied.
D. Failure to State a Claim
Lastly, Defendants argue that the County fails to state claims- for intentional discrimination-disparate treatment or disparate impact under the FHA. -Under the FHA it is “unlawful for any person or other entity whose business includes engaging in residential real estate-rélated transactions 'to discriminate against any person in making available such a transaction, or in the terms Or conditions of such a transaction, because of race — ” 42 U.S.C. § 3605(a). To state an intentional discrimination or ' disparate treatment claim under the FHA requires allegations “of intentional discrimination, provable via either direct or circumstantial evidence.” Daveri Dev. Grp., LLC v. Vill. of Wheeling, 934 F.Supp.2d 987, 997 (N.D.Ill.2013) (citing Nikolich v. Vill. of Arlington Heights, Ill., 870 F.Supp.2d 556, 562 (N.D.Ill.2012)). To state a disparate impact claim under the FHA requires allegations that Defendants’ actions, despite being unintentional, .had a “discriminatory effect” upon -a protected class. Metro. Hous. Dev. Corp. v. Vill of Arlington Heights, 558 F.2d 1283, 1289-90- (7th Cir. 1977).
The County has sufficiently pleaded both theories. The County has stated a claim for intentional discrimination and disparate treatment; they allege that the Defendants intentionally targeted and marketed predatory subprime loans to minority borrowers to their detriment and the detriment of the County. See, e.g., Am. Compl, ¶¶ 64, 68-70, 73, .75-99. The County has also stated a claim of disparate impact; they allege, among other things, that the pricing policies Defendants designed increased the costs for loans made to minority borrowers, thereby reducing their home equity, and caused a “downward spiral” of mortgage delinquencies •and failures amongst minority borrowers. See, e.g., id. ¶¶ 109, 112-13.
Defendants also take issue with the County’s reliance on Daveri Development Group, 934 F.Supp.2d 987, and City of Memphis v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 09-2857-STA, 2011 WL 1706756 (W.D.Tenn. May 4, 2011), arguing that the County has not alleged discriminatory intent. ' But the County did allege intentional discriminatory conduct. ' See, e.g., Am. Compl. ¶¶ 64, 68-70, 73, 75-99. Defendants also cursorily argue that the County has not alleged policies or actions undertaken “because of,” not merely “in spite of,” their adverse effects on an identifiable group. See Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss 19 (citing Pers.. Adm’r v. Feeney, 442 U.S. 256, 279, 99, S.Ct. 2282, 60 L.Ed.2d 870 (1979), EEOC v. Chi. Miniature Lamp Works, 947 F.2d 292, 299 (7th Cir.1991); McReynolds v. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., 694 F.3d 873, 886 (7th Cir.2012)). This argument also is unpersuasive. Again, the County has alleged that the discriminatory pricing policies were undertaken because of the minority status of the borrowers. ' See, e.g., Am. Compl-. ¶¶ 42-61, 75-98, 133-39, 323.
*967Undeterred, Defendants also cite to Smith v. City of Jackson, which held that disparate impact is not cognizable under the, Age Discrimination in Employment Act. 544 U.S. 228, 236-38 & n.6, 125 S.Ct. 1536, 161 L.Ed.2d 410 (2005). But the Supreme Court has recently held that disparate impact claims are cognizable under the FHA. See Texas Dep't of Hous. & Cmty. Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 2507, 2525, 192 L.Ed.2d 514 (2015); see also Metro. Hous. Dev. Corp., 558 F.2d at 1290 (”[A] violation of section 3604(a) can be established by a showing of discriminatory effect without a. showing of discriminatory intent.”).
Lastly, invoking Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, Defendants argue that the County has failed to plead a disparate impact claim because it has not identified a discrete practice but only a discretionary “pricing polity” that does not pass muster. See 564 U.S. 338, 131 S.Ct. 2541, 2555-56, 180 L.Ed.2d 374 (2011) (“[T]he bare existence of delegated discretion ... [that] produced an' overall sex-based disparity does not suffice.”); see also Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio, 490 U.S. 642, 656, 109 S.Ct. 2115, 104 L.Ed.2d 733 (1989) (similar). Dukes does not save Defendants’ argument.. First, Dukes did not foreclose the possibility that a discretionary policy could be the basis for a claim of disparate impact; indeed, it recognized as much, noting that “a common mode of exercising discretion that pervades the entire company” and produces disparate impact. effects might be actionable. See 131 S.Ct. at 2554-55. Second, as the County points out, Dukes was decided in the context of Rule 23(a)(2)’s commonality requirement, making its discussion of limited import here. See id. at 2555-557 (discussing regression analysis and anecdotal evidence in the context of Rule 23(a)(2)).
For these reasons, Defendants’ motion to dismiss the County’s claims for failure to state a claim is denied.
E. Dismissal of Non-Originating Entities
Defendants also argue that HSBC USA Inc., HSBC Finance Corporation, HSBC North America Holdings Inc., HFC Company LLC, and Beneficial LLC should be dismissed because they did not originate mortgage loans. See Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss 19-20; Defs.’ Reply 15, In essence, Defendants’ argument-on this point is an argument for summary judgment. The County has alleged a widespread scheme of discriminatory lending which involved all the various Defendants. See Am. Compl. ¶¶ 31-39 (establishing corporate structure); id. ¶ 40 (“Defendants collectively have operated as a common enterprise.”). This is sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss.4
IV. Conclusion
For the reasons provided herein, the Court denies Defendants’ motion to dismiss [49].
SO ORDERED.
. When reviewing Defendants’ motion to dismiss, the Court will assume the alleged facts in the Amended Complaint are true and draws all possible inferences in the County's favor. Tamayo v. Blagojevich, 526 F.3d 1074, 1081 (7th Cir.2008).
. Defendants do not contest the third requirement for Article III standing — redressability. See Pl.’s Mem. Opp’n 9 (noting the failure to address this element). In any event, the Court is convinced that the County’s alleged injuries are sufficiently redressable.
. The majority of other circuit courts are in accord. See, e.g., Kurapati v. U.S. Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Servs., 775 F.3d 1255, 1260 (11th Cir.2014) ("The term prudential standing implies that whether a particular plaintiff falls within the ‘zone of interests' protected by a statute or regulation is jurisdictional, but whether a plaintiff’s claim is within the zope of interests protected by a statute or regulation is not jurisdictional.”); Metra v. Lasshofer, 770 F.3d 1331, 1345 (10th Cir.2014) (discussing Lexmark and noting that "the Supreme Court has affirmed that questions of-so-called ‘statutory standing’ like the one presented in this case, despite no longer falling under the technical label of prudential standing, are not jurisdictional”); Chabad Lubavitch of Litchfield Cnty., Inc. v. Litchfield Historic Dist. Comm'n, 768 F.3d 183, 200-01 (2d Cir.2014) (differentiating statutory standing and noting that “has at times been held to be jurisdictional and at others nonjurisdictional”); Janvey v. Brown, 767 F.3d 430, 437 n. 26 (5th Cir.2014) (noting that “[ajlthough often clothed as an issue of subject-matter jurisdiction,” statutory stánd- ■ ’ ing is not jurisdictional); El Dorado Estates v. City of Fillmore, 765 F.3d 1118, 1122 (9th Cir.2014) (“[T]he Supreme Court indicated that the question of whether a particular plaintiff has a right to sue under a given substantive statute, though often previously discussed as 'prudential standing,' is more appropriately dealt with not in terms of standing but instead as a matter of statutory interpretation, determining 'whether a legislatively conferred cause of action encompasses a particular plaintiff’s claim.' ”); Vander Luitgaren v. Sun Life Assur. Co. of Canada, 765 F,3d 59, 63, n. 3 (1st Cir.2014) (citing Lexmark and applying its test while not deciding "whether, strictly speaking, questions of statutory standing are jurisdictional questions”); Kentucky v. U.S. ex rel. Hagel, 759 F.3d 588, 596 n. 3 (6th Cir.2014) (noting that Lexmark "placed the Continuing vitality of the prudential aspects of standing” in doubt); Sierra Club v. E.P.A., 755 F.3d 968, 976 (D.C.Cir.2014) (noting that under Lexmark "prudential standing” and "zone of interests” are "not a question of standing” but "whether characterized as” prudential standing or legal capacity to. state a claim” plaintiff’s lawsuit failed); Nat’l Health Plan Corp. v. Teamsters Local 469, 585 Fed.Appx. 832, 835 (3d Cir.2014) ("Lexmark adopted a straightforward cause-of-action analysis.”).
. Indeed, the Defendants invoke Rule 56 and request that the Court to convert the motion into one for summary judgment. See Defs.’ Mot. 19 n.19. Given the procedural posture of. the case; and the scope of discovery that is likely to come, the Court declines to do so.
