Founders Ridge is a 220,409 square-foot, 111-unit, wood frame senior housing development in Bloomington, MN, completed by Doran Construction in 2021. The construction was inclusive of existing building renovations and the addition of two terrace apartment-style buildings with 72 units and two brownstone row-style buildings with 40 units. In the existing building, Doran renovated the dining room, expanded the restrooms, built a new mailroom and fitness room, and expanded the buffet as part of the main building amenities. To further accommodate residents and guests an additional 118 parking spaces were added. The living space additions and the existing renovations filled a critical need for more senior housing in and around the Twin Cities area. Founders Ridge won the Suburban Senior Housing Award at the 2021 Minnesota RE Journals Real Estate Awards.
