Eden Prairie, Minnesota, August 26, 2025
A $55.62 million financing package has been arranged to build The Fox & The Grouse Phase II, a six-story, 188-unit apartment building in Eden Prairie’s Golden Triangle. The capital includes a $39.12 million construction loan and $16.50 million in joint-venture equity to support immediate construction. The development will feature a mix of studio to three-bedroom homes, with 25% of units reserved as affordable housing at 50% and 80% AMI. Planned amenities include an outdoor pool, wellness center, golf simulator and underground parking, and the site preserves over nine acres of wetlands and links to a future light rail station.
Key financing and development steps are in place for a 188-unit apartment project in Eden Prairie’s Golden Triangle. A combined $55.62 million package of joint-venture equity and construction financing has been arranged to build The Fox & The Grouse Phase II, which will begin site work in August 2025.
The financing package includes a $39.12 million, three-year floating-rate construction loan placed through MidWestOne Bank and $16.50 million in joint-venture equity provided by Amstar Group. Financial advisory and capital-markets representation for the sponsor — a partnership between Greco and Eagle Ridge Partners — was provided by a capital markets advisory team. The project site is at 6901 Flying Cloud Dr.
The development will be a six-story building offering a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across 167,312 square feet of rentable space. The total unit count is 188, and the planned parking provides 263 stalls — a parking ratio of 1.40 spaces per unit, with underground parking included.
The project sets aside 25% of units as affordable housing targeted at households earning 50% and 80% of area median income (AMI). Amenity offerings are designed for modern suburban renters and include an outdoor pool, a golf simulator, a club-quality wellness center, work-from-home spaces, a theater room, a club room and a private dining area. The site also preserves and integrates more than nine acres of wetlands to create outdoor connections to nature for residents.
The Fox & The Grouse Phase II is the second phase of a larger transit-oriented development tied directly to the Golden Triangle Station on the Southwest Light Rail Transit Green Line Extension. That light-rail extension is scheduled to open in 2027, increasing transit access to Downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota and MSP International Airport — all major regional employment centers.
The project design work was led by BKV Group. The financing transaction connected the sponsor to equity and debt partners to fund immediate construction activity, with work slated to commence in August 2025.
This financing and build program arrives amid growing suburban multifamily activity across the Twin Cities. Nearby transactions and portfolio moves include a garden-style community in Eden Prairie that changed hands and will see capital improvements by its new owner and manager. Local acquisition and construction trends show a shift toward suburb-focused supply, with a sizable share of new apartments being developed outside central downtown areas.
Regional data indicate a significant pipeline of units under construction in the broader metro, and investors have shown interest in properties that sit near transit corridors and major highway connections. Policy moves in neighboring cities have influenced development patterns, and some local builders have adjusted plans in response to regulatory changes and market conditions.
The combined equity and loan package enables immediate ground-breaking for a mid-rise, transit-oriented, mixed-income project that blends market-rate and affordable units, integrates a large wetland buffer, and adds amenity-rich housing near a future light-rail station. The approach reflects a growing investor and developer emphasis on suburban multifamily projects that tie housing to transit and local employment nodes.
Construction is scheduled to start in August 2025. The financing structure provides a three-year construction loan horizon for initial delivery phases, while joint-venture equity supports project completion and leasing. Further development milestones, construction timing beyond groundbreaking, and projected lease-up schedules will be determined as the build progresses and permitting and construction steps are completed.
