Stonebridge Selected for Minn. Senior Development

Rosemount, Minnesota’s council and city staff have chosen Stonebridge Companies to develop a senior housing project in the area, Rosemount Town Pages reports.

Stonebridge has built a number of senior housing projects in the city, including in Lilydale and Shoreview.

The council directed staff to work with Stonebridge, drawing preliminary designs of the project.
