The Doran Group secures $26 million in financing, begins construction in Hudson on first Linden House-branded active adult apartment community
The 128-unit project is first in what CEO Evan Doran says is a second upscale brand of senior living communities for the company, with more sites for the brand envisioned across the region
Eden Prairie, MN (May 19, 2026) – The Doran Group, a longtime Twin Cities-based developer of luxury multifamily apartment and townhome communities and a more recent entrant into the senior housing sector, announced today it has begun construction and secured $26 million in financing on Linden House – Hudson. The 128-unit project marks the launch of a second senior housing brand for the developer, one designed specifically for strong regional hubs and growing smaller cities across the Upper Midwest.
“We believe there’s an unmet need across the region among people age 55 and older who are seeking upscale apartments with engaging programming,” said Evan Doran, president and CEO of The Doran Group. “Linden House reflects our belief that residents in smaller, vibrant cities and towns in our region are equally interested in quality housing choices as they take steps to retire or are already enjoying that chapter of life.”
As part of its vision to extend the Linden House brand across the region, The Doran Group’s four-story community in Hudson will offer a mix of larger one- and two-bedroom homes, ranging in size from 690 to 1,380 square feet, plus private outdoor balconies for each home and underground heated parking. Located at 209 Annabelle Way, Linden House – Hudson will begin leasing in late 2026, welcoming new residents in late 2027.
“The launch of Linden House – Hudson reflects our commitment to ensuring high-quality, age-friendly housing that meets the needs of our growing 55+ community,” said Hudson Mayor Rich O’Connor. “The Doran Group’s reputation is stellar, and they are already proving to be great community partners, listening to area residents during community meetings and working with a variety of stakeholders to ensure the final design is a good fit for Hudson.”
Linden House – Hudson will offer a broad variety of engaging activities within an upscale setting. Key amenities will include an outdoor central terrace with a pool, outdoor lounge areas, grilling areas and gardens, clubroom, wellness center, craft spaces, underground heated parking, pet run and spa, grand lobby and more.
“The Saint Croix River Valley, anchored by Hudson and Stillwater, offers a unique mixture of traditional and modern amenities – with two historic downtowns, vibrant cultural institutions on both sides of the river and unparalleled nature escapes from boating to golfing to hiking,” said Doran. “We are excited to make Hudson the home of our first Linden House community – and to see it become the best-in-class rental destination for people wanting quality and convenience in the region they know and love.”
In addition to developing the property, The Doran Group is designing, building and professionally managing the community. Veridian Credit Union is financing the $26 million construction loan.
“Veridian Credit Union is incredibly grateful to The Doran Group for the opportunity to partner on this premier development,” said Matt Day, Commercial Loan Officer at Veridian Credit Union. “We are proud to provide the commercial financing for the Linden House – Hudson, which brings a new and much needed active adult-55+ housing option to the Hudson, Wisconsin community. Our team looks forward to seeing the finished product come to life, and we eagerly anticipate collaborating with The Doran Group on future projects that drive economic growth across the greater Twin Cities region.”

The Doran Group Announces $28 Million Sale of The Village at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove, Proceeds to be reinvested into new projects, including The Linden House in Hudson, WI
Eden Prairie, MN – The Doran Group today announced the successful sale of its retail center, The Village at Arbor Lakes, to Curbline REIT for $28 million. The sale marks another strategic step in the company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its portfolio and redeploy capital into new development opportunities across the Upper Midwest.
Proceeds from the sale of the neighborhood retail center will be reinvested into a pipeline of new projects, including The Doran Group’s continued expansion into the active adult housing sector with its second 55+ community, The Linden House, planned for Hudson, Wisconsin.
“The Village at Arbor Lakes has been a strong-performing asset for our portfolio, and we’re proud of the role it has played in serving the Maple Grove community,” said The Doran Group President and CEO Evan Doran. “At the same time, this sale allows us to strategically redeploy capital into new developments that align with our long-term vision for growth, including expanding our footprint in the active adult space.”
The Linden House will be a 128-unit active adult (55+) apartment community located in Hudson, Wisconsin. Building on the momentum of the company’s first 55+ development, Olinia-Maple Grove, the project reflects The Doran Group’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality, lifestyle-oriented housing options for the region’s growing population of active adults.
“As we look ahead, we remain highly confident in the demand for thoughtfully designed 55+ communities,” said Doran. “The Linden House represents the next step in building a scalable active adult platform, and Hudson is an ideal regional community for this type of housing.”
The Doran Group will continue to leverage its fully integrated platform – spanning development, design, construction, and property management – to execute on The Linden House and future projects throughout the region. Construction is expected to get underway later this spring on The Linden House.
Sean Doyle, AJ Prins, Charlie Hexum and Rob Wise with CBRE, Inc. represented the seller in the successful sale of The Village at Arbor Lakes.
