Lexington Avenue & 109th Avenue - Lot 1

In 2018, Wellington’s first purchase in Blaine was 70-acre Lexington Meadows. The team worked through complex watershed and exotic plant issues to create developable land (roughly 45 acres) and high-quality wetland under the oversight of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Rice Creek Watershed. Like the company’s work in Oakdale that landed HyVee, Wellington kick-started development with a partnership that serves suburban seniors first. Emphasizing the wetland as an amenity to provide FALL 2018 SUMMER 2023 SUMMER 2023 a quiet and green backdrop, Wellington sold the southwest corner of the buildable area to Dominium for affordable senior apartment community The Legends of Blaine. After Wellington addressed watershed issues and completed site and road work, Dominium started construction on the padready site in 2019. The Legends began leasing in 2020 and is currently fully leased. In 2022, Wellington completed a 11,000 RSF strip retail center featuring a drive-thru Starbucks, Jersey Mike’s, Park Dental, Buff City Soap, and Face Foundrie. A Kwik Trip convenience store opened on a pad-ready site in the northwest corner of the developable area (completed in Q1 2022), which Wellington sold to the retailer in 2020. North Memorial Health Clinic and Urgency Center is now open and Roers has an 182-unit apartment building under construction and scheduled to open Fall 2023. Lots 1, 2, and 3 north of 108th Avenue NE remain available for sale or spec development. South of 108th, lots 4, 5 and 6 are available for sale or spec development and lease back.
