Communities & Markets
We focus on rural markets across Minnesota and eastern North Dakota where quality workforce housing is in short supply -- and where we can be a true long-term partner to the community.
Rooted across the Upper Midwest
From the lakes country of northern Minnesota to the Red River Valley of North Dakota, we develop, build, own, and operate workforce housing as a long-term regional partner.
Red Ridge Group focuses its operating footprint on secondary and tertiary markets where housing demand exceeds supply and existing rental stock is aging. We partner directly with municipal leaders -- city staff, EDAs, and councils -- to bring quality, workforce-focused housing to communities that need it most.
Our footprint spans six Minnesota counties and two North Dakota counties. From the I-35 corridor through the lakes country of central Minnesota and across the Red River Valley, every market we enter is one we intend to serve for decades.
Where we operate
Eight counties across two states -- each a long-term commitment to the families and communities we serve.
Six counties
- Pine County -- Hinckley
- Aitkin County -- Aitkin
- Kanabec County -- Mora
- Crow Wing County -- Crosby & Deerwood
- Beltrami County -- Bemidji
- Clearwater County -- Bagley
Two counties
- Towner County -- Cando
- Ramsey County -- Devils Lake
Our ND operating arm, Red River Residential, anchors our northern footprint and helps manage properties across both states.
A full-cycle regional partner
One integrated platform across the region -- from site and municipal partnership to construction, lease-up, and decades of operations.
Develop
Site identification, municipal partnerships, land, TIF and infrastructure structuring -- tailored to each community.
Build
Fixed-price construction with local and regional builders, managed through weather, labor, and materials.
Own
We hold what we build. Conservative underwriting and principal co-investment for the long term -- no speculation.
Operate
In-house property management with responsive maintenance and fair leasing. Our name is on the door for decades.
A partner, not a transaction
We approach each community as a long-term partner -- not a transactional developer. Land, TIF, infrastructure, and local support are the foundation of every project.
Listen First
We ask what the community needs before we build anything.
Municipal Partnership
City staff, EDA, and councils are our allies -- land and TIF negotiated transparently.
Quality Product
Attached garages, private entrances, modern finishes -- built to outcompete aging stock.
Long-Term Hold
We build, own, and operate. No short-term flip; a decades-long commitment.
