Trident Development started construction on Orchard Place Apartments, a new apartment community in Apple Valley, Minnesota, at 15665 English Ave. The new development will feature 135 market rate apartments. The developer will celebrate a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 29.
The property’s 135 apartment units will be contained within one four-story building with studio, one, two and three-bedroom options. Pre-leasing is set to begin in fall 2026 with apartments ready for residents by late 2026.
Amenities at Orchard Place will include a 24-hour fitness center and yoga studio, sport court, and business center. The community will also feature multiple outdoor gathering spaces, including a rooftop patio, sky lounge and a central courtyard with a firepit and barbecue grills. Residents will have access to a fenced dog park with a dog wash area, a children’s play area, outdoor walking paths and bike racks throughout the property.
Situated within the Twin Cities metro area, Orchard Place Apartments blends suburban calm with urban accessibility. Neighboring properties include retail, restaurants and a grocery store, with Quarry Point Park just minutes away. Skyline Social is developing a new facility just north of the property, offering blowing, duckpin lanes, an arcade and axe throwing. To the south, residents can also enjoy Historic Downtown Lakeville on Holyoke Avenue, which boasts a variety of local shops, restaurants, breweries and event venues, as well as the Minnesota Zoo to the north.
Additionally, the mayor of Apple Valley, Clint Hooppaw expressed his support for the project. “We’re excited to welcome Trident Development and Orchard Place Apartments to Apple Valley, and eager to see it become a permanent fixture of our community.”
Orchard Place Apartments is made possible with several partners, including Lyon Contracting, Inc., Cole Group Architects, Village Green and Orchard Place Partners, LLC.
