Joseph Properties, Inc.; EDA members discussed floorplan modifications and partnership outreach to Essentia Health, and noted DOC employee housing demand.
Members of the Moose Lake Economic Development Authority discussed details of the Rebel Heights residential development at their Jan. 21 meeting, including market outreach, design changes and next steps.
The minutes say the City Council has approved a development agreement to transfer the next parcels to D. Joseph Properties, Inc. The developer has indicated planned modifications to upcoming units to improve floorplans, and EDA members suggested placing garages in the center of buildings to change unit layouts.
Committee member Yvonne Skelton suggested emphasizing the project’s proximity to Interstate 35 and Essentia Health locations to attract travel nurses and other health-care workers. The minutes also note a realtor prepared packets for prospective buyers outlining available rebates, mortgage packages and other incentives.
A partnership exploration meeting on Dec. 23, 2025 noted Department of Corrections (DOC) employees were identified as a potential tenant pool seeking rental units; an additional meeting with Essentia Health was scheduled to pursue a partnership. The minutes list an EDA resolution authorizing the sale of real property but do not record a vote or outcome for that resolution in the posted minutes.
The minutes do not specify a construction schedule, financing breakdown or final approval steps for the resolution. Staff or the developer are expected to return with more detailed plans or action items in a future meeting.
