United Properties announced that Amira Lake Elmo, its newest 55-plus active adult rental community, received its certificate of occupancy on Aug. 19. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the project’s journey, allowing United Properties and Great Lakes Management to welcome its first resident to the Lake Elmo, Minnesota, property on Sept. 2.
Amira Lake Elmo is designed for active adults seeking a lifestyle that balances comfort, connection and convenience. Located near Woodbury in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, the community offers beautifully landscaped grounds and a rich array of interior and exterior amenity spaces designed for every season. Spacious homes — from alcove studios to three-bedroom layouts — feature premium finishes and light-filled spaces that encourage relaxation and connection.
By managing the day-to-day maintenance, Great Lakes Management’s experienced on-site team enables residents to focus on what matters most: community, family, friends and personal interests. Planned activities and events further enrich daily life, fostering a sense of belonging and vibrancy.
While this is United Properties’ fourth active adult community, the company has been developing and investing in senior living since 2004, completing more than two dozen best-in-class communities across Minnesota, Florida and Colorado. The Amira family of communities is designed to support residents at every stage, offering a continuum of living options from Amira active adult rentals to Amira Choice communities with independent living, assisted living, memory care and enhanced care services. This thoughtful structure ensures residents can transition seamlessly as their needs evolve.
With the certificate of occupancy secured and its first resident settled in, Amira Lake Elmo is becoming a welcoming home for active adults ready to live abundantly in a connected, supportive community.
United Properties collaborated with LSE Architects, Eagle Building Company, Great Lakes Management and Associated Bank to bring Amira Lake Elmo to life. LSE Architects provided innovative, community-focused design; Eagle Building Company delivered exceptional construction quality; Great Lakes Management oversees daily operations and resident experience; and Associated Bank supported the project with its financing expertise. Together, these partners played a pivotal role in making Amira Lake Elmo a reality.
