70-unit 'Landmark of Fridley' on old Sandee's site will be done by August.
At the intersection of Old Central Avenue and Mississippi Street, where Sandee’s Restaurant once stood, the third floor of the The Landmark of Fridley, a new senior living complex, is now being framed in wood. When the apartment building is completed in August, it will boast 70 units, including eight designated for independent living, 48 assisted living residencies and 14 studio apartments for memory care, said Scott Hickok, Fridley’s community development director. There has been a small boom in senior living construction in the area—White Pine Senior Living recently completed the 40-unit first phase of its construction and the owner of the Columbia Arena has proposed a plan to turn the vacant building into senior housing. “Combined with …

The project, pending financing, would re-use the ice rink's shell to house the elderly.
Where Zambonis once zoomed, motorized wheelchairs might soon meander. Where coaches once counted assists, developers now count assisted-living units. The Columbia Arena skating rink on University Avenue, vacant since 2005, is poised for a dramatic conversion to senior citizen apartments, pending financing that the developer's representative says could come within the next two weeks. A somewhat skeptical Fridley City Council cleared the way for the redevelopment last week, approving a zoning variance and special-use permits for the project. Several officials remarked at the meeting that the city has seen many recent redevelopment plans fail to go forward, including a different proposal last year for a new Fridley Medical Center on the …
