Risor of Maple Grove opened in June 2023 to serve residents age 55 and older seeking maintenance-free living. The rental community allows residents to transition from homeownership while maintaining independence, connection, and convenience. Located in Maple Grove, the property offers easy access to nearby retail and dining, along with amenities designed to support an active 55+ lifestyle.

Access to consistent, reliable capital partners like Fannie Mae helps Roers Cos. continue developing communities that meet evolving needs. JLL Capital Markets played a key role in structuring a loan for this property and aligning terms to meet current market conditions. As a result, the financing supports the community’s long-term stability.

Roers Cos. and JLL have worked together since 2014 on multifamily communities across several markets, building a strong partnership focused on delivering quality housing.

“One of the most importance parts of working with Fannie Mae is that it gave us the investment dollars to reinvest into future projects,” said Kent Roers, co-founder and owner of Roers Cos. “With the shortage of housing in the U.S., our goal and focus is to try and provide housing because we believe everybody in this world deserves a home.”

Meeting the Needs of Active Adult Residents

Risor of Maple Grove meets demand among active adult residents transitioning from single-family homes. Many are looking for a simplified lifestyle without sacrificing quality or a sense of community. Residents have highlighted the appeal of downsizing while maintaining connection, convenience, and access to amenities.

Recently, Fannie Mae featured the project in a Multifamily Lending Spotlight. The video highlights the collaboration among the partners and features resident voices sharing their experiences.

“I never thought I would be renting again. I downsized from a five-bedroom house, and I wanted a large community of people — and that’s what I have found,” one resident shared, adding that communities like Risor allow residents to remain active while enjoying a strong sense of belonging. “A place like this is perfect for people to be more active and be in a community they really care about and love.”
