Cook Lake Highlands

Project Overview

Cook Lake Highlands is a development from Trek Real Estate and Development, Inc. located at 19920 County Road 10. The development consists of 19 single family homes, a 100-unit senior co-op, a daycare facility and a 27-unit assisted living/memory care facility. Construction for Cook Lake Highlands is expected to complete in a single phase with an estimated construction time of 17 months. Grading for the development began in July 2022. 

Single family villas from Robert Thomas Homes will be of similar design as the neighboring Bass Lake Crossing neighborhood and will provide an appropriate transition for the Bass Lake Crossing Homes to the rest of Cook Lake Highlands. This cul-de-sac will consist of 19 single family villas that will vary in size from 1734-1935 square feet and include 2-car garages.

Rivers of Life Memory Care/Enhanced Assisted Living is a single story facility made up of 32 Units, the bulk of which provides High Acuity Memory Care Assisted Living. The memory care residents will be provided their own secure area of the building that has its own separate amenities. Staff at Rivers of Life Memory Care will be trained in serving those with Alzheimer's/Dementia, Parkinson's and other specialty needs usually unmet by other senior care facilities. 



New Horizon Child Care and Early Education will be located near the entrance to County Road 10 and will neighbor Rivers of Life. New Horizon Academy is a Minnesota, family-owned and operated company and provides a number of programs to children of various ages. 

PUD Amendment (City file 23-005)
On May 11, 2023, City Council approved a request to amend the original PUD to allow for more units in the Senior Living Apartment. The original PUD allowed for a 100-unit Senior Cooperative for the development. Due to market conditions, United Properties made the decision to shift the Senior cooperative to an age-restricted apartment. Other amendments included increasing the number of memory care units from 27 to 32, and increasing the impervious surface area at New Horizons Academy from 44.3% to 50.2%
