Ecumen is teaming up with Luther Seminary to plan a senior housing development on the seminary’s 37-acre Saint Anthony Park campus in Northwest Saint Paul.

A Star Tribune story in today’s business section announced that the two nonprofits signed a nonbinding letter of intent to start work on the development, which could include senior housing co-ops, rentals with assisted living and memory care and some income-restricted rentals. 

The project is still in the early planning stages but expectations are that work could begin as soon as next year on a five-acre area of the seminary’s lower campus.
