Bloomington-based Doran Construction will build Bluestone Flats, a 142-unit luxury apartment building that's part of the BlueStone Commons mixed-use development near the UMD campus. Minnesota Summit Management is the owner and developer of the project, which will have 700 units of market, student, and mixed-use housing in several buildings called BlueStone, Summit Ridge, Boulder Ridge, and Campus Park. Mark Lambert, principal of Summit Management, said the project will cater to a diverse group of residents from empty nesters couples to recent graduates. The latest building will have studio, one- and two-bedroom units that include balconies, six-foot windows, granite countertops, custom wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, plank flooring and pendant lighting. The Shops at BlueStone is the retail component of the project and includes a variety of service and retail businesses ranging from Tavern on the Hil to Waxing the City. A groundbreaking ceremony for BlueStone Flats will happen in May.
