Address: Northeast quadrant, Hwy. 101 & 90th Street, Otsego
Type: Senior housing
Size: 139 units
Developer: Guardian Angels Senior Services
Architect: Pope Architects
Details: Elk River-based Guardian Angels Senior Services, which owns and operates senior housing facilities in five communities northwest of the Twin Cities, received preliminary approvals for a new project in Otsego.
The care provider announced its plans to construct Riverview Landing, a senior housing facility in the city's Waterfront East planned unit development area on the Mississippi River, just south of the Hwy. 101 bridge. A concept plan for a 139-unit, 45,000-square-foot building was approved by the City Council late last year.
The Waterfront East area was once envisioned as a large-scale retail center, but market forces now favor multifamily housing. City officials backed the switch in uses citing a priority goal of landing much-needed senior housing, a first in Otsego.
