Both are stated to have <br />a number of years of professional experience for development within this marketspace and <br />would be ownership partners for this project. Trident Development has a mixed unit senior <br />living facility currently under construction in Arden Hills called Round Lake Senior Living at <br />1740 Parkshore Drive. <br /> <br />Trident Development is proposing to subdivide and purchase 10.27 acres (narrative also <br />references 10.24 acres) in the northwest corner from North Heights Lutheran Church. This <br />parcel would be developed with a 115-125 unit, age restricted 55+ senior independent living <br />apartment building. The units would be targeted at market-rate featuring high-end amenities. <br />The building is proposed to be 3-story with a pitched roof design estimated to be a height of 44’ <br />from the highest roof peak.

Elements of architectural design have been included to <br />enhance the exterior appearance such as a series of dormers, together with a variation of bump- <br />outs. Other amenities to the apartment community will include an outdoor patio and grill area, <br />rooftop sky lounge with outdoor fireplace, fitness center, and walking paths. Unit sizes will <br />range from 800 - 1,100 square feet +/- for a one bedroom apartment then up to 975 – 1,350 <br />square feet +/- for two bedrooms.
