The proposed development is a master planned residential <br />community located in the northwest quadrant of I-35E and CSAH 14/Main Street. It contains <br />12 parcels totaling approximately 372 gross acres and consists of a residential mix of 699 <br />single family lots and 172 townhome units totaling 871 housing units. <br /> <br />In February 2017 the City was informed that Mattamy Homes was moving out of the <br />Minnesota housing market and selling off its existing land holdings, including the Lino Lakes <br />site.
