Minnesota developer to build 150-unit apartment project in Farmers Branch

Roers Cos. is building in most of the major Texas markets

A Minnesota-based developer that’s expanding to Texas is planning a new rental community in Farmers Branch.

Roers Companies is planning to build the more than $28.5 million, 150-unit Elara apartment community in Farmers Branch. The market-rate rental project will include 20,000 square feet of commercial space, an outdoor pool deck, fitness center, yoga studio and game room, according to planning documents filed with the state.

Family-owned Roers is a more than 11-year-old builder based in suburban Minneapolis. It has built more than 10,000 apartment units across 14 states. The company started 2,675 apartments last year, making it one of the top multifamily builders in the country.
