Roers plans 167-unit apartment project at Arden Hills office site
Roers Cos. is planning a 167-unit apartment complex at an Arden Hills office property targeted for redevelopment, according to a report published July 24, 2026. The project is estimated at approximately $50 million and would reuse an existing employment site for housing.
The proposal would represent a significant land-use change in Arden Hills. Instead of continuing as an office-site property, the location is being considered for a residential development that could add housing and bring hundreds of new residents near surrounding roads, businesses and public services.
What is known about the proposal
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal identified Roers Cos. as the developer planning the project. Its report described the development as a 167-unit apartment complex and placed the estimated investment at $50 million.
The available information describes the project as a plan, not a completed development. It does not establish that construction has started, that the city has granted final approval or that a completion date has been set.
The report also does not provide the project’s exact address, unit mix or any affordability component. Those details would affect how the development serves renters and how officials assess its fit within the surrounding area.
What the city review could address
Arden Hills residents and city officials will face questions about density, traffic, utilities and zoning as the redevelopment moves through the city’s development and planning process. The project could affect nearby roads and services, while the conversion of an office site could change how the property contributes to the local employment and housing landscape.
City records show that Arden Hills continues to process development, planning and infrastructure matters through its council and project-review system. That system is the relevant municipal channel for the proposal, but the available source packet does not identify a hearing date, application deadline or other specific next-step date.
What remains unresolved
The project’s final traffic, utility and zoning impacts have not yet been documented in the available city application materials. Final approval, construction timing, the mix of apartment sizes and any affordability provisions also remain unknown.
For now, the confirmed development is a proposal to replace or reuse an Arden Hills office-site property with 167 apartments at an estimated cost of approximately $50 million. Further city review would determine whether and how the project advances.
