Mesabi Metallics outlines plan for 50-unit apartment project in Eagle Ridge Estates
Summary
In a Feb. 9 work session, Cari Burgess of Mesabi Metallics outlined plans to buy land in Eagle Ridge Estates and build a 50-unit apartment complex — including short-term workforce units and a clubhouse — with the company providing and funding on-site infrastructure.
Cari Burgess of Mesabi Metallics presented a preliminary housing proposal during the City of Coleraine work session on Feb. 9, saying the company is looking to purchase a parcel in Eagle Ridge Estates to build a 50-unit apartment complex that would include some short-term workforce housing and a clubhouse. She told council members Mesabi Metallics would finance and install the required infrastructure and has checked with county staff about where utility service currently ends. Burgess also said the company is aware of existing covenants in the Eagle Ridge Estates area.
The discussion was exploratory: no formal zoning or permit applications were recorded in the meeting minutes, and no council vote on the project was taken. The work session presentation focused on site interest, infrastructure responsibilities, and the company's early steps to confirm technical feasibility with county utilities. No dollar amounts or specific parcels were identified in the transcript.
The council did not take action on the proposal at the Feb. 9 meeting; next steps, including whether the city will review rezoning, subdivision, or infrastructure agreements, were not specified in the record. The work session provided an opportunity for Mesabi Metallics to inform the council of its interest and to surface potential issues such as service boundaries and existing covenants that would affect development.
