NATIONAL LAND DEVELOPMENT
We Develop Communities.
Over the past five decades, Summergate has built a reputation as one of the premier land development, homebuilding, and property management companies in the Twin Cities and throughout the nation. It's a reputation built the same way since 1976: honest, local, and built to last.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Summerland Place
SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA
South of Highway 169 and east of Mystic Lake Boulevard, Summerland Place is one of Summergate's most ambitious communities yet. It's 117 acres planned as a true neighborhood, not just one style of home.
The plan brings together townhomes, villas, and single family homes alongside apartment residences, all woven around ponds, walking trails, a community garden, and a park built for every stage of life.
Our Way
Built on Fifty Years of Doing It the Right Way
Summergate started as a family business in 1976, and it still runs like one. We believe in honest business ethics and integrity in everything we do, from the first conversation with a landowner to the final walkthrough with a new homeowner.
Whether you're a landowner exploring a sale, a family choosing a floor plan, or a resident of one of our apartment communities, you're working directly with the people who've spent decades earning the Twin Cities' trust.
Our Qualities
Why Landowners &
Homebuyers Choose
Summergate
One company, three services, one standard of care, for the people who sell us their land and the people who move into the homes we build on it.
01
Land Acquisition Expertise
Decades of experience identifying, evaluating, and entitling the right parcels across the Twin Cities.
02
Full-Service Development
From raw ground to finished, buildable lots — engineering, entitlements, and infrastructure, in-house.
03
Custom Homebuilding
Homeowners help shape their own floor plans, with a builder who's been doing this since 1976.
04
Property Management
Long-term stewardship of the apartment communities we build, not a hand-off to someone else.
05
Integrity First
Landowners get honesty, respect, and a fair process from first call to closing.
06
Deep Twin Cities Roots
Nearly fifty communities across the Twin Cities since 1976 — we know this ground.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Amazing Home, Amazing Team”
Every step, from our first conversation about selling our land to the final walkthrough of our new home, it felt like working with neighbors — not a land developer.

WHO WE WORK WITH
The Builders Who Bring
Our Communities to Life
Once Summergate finishes the land, the planning, and the infrastructure, these are the builders who take it from there, constructing and selling the homes that fill our communities. We work with some of the biggest names in homebuilding, alongside respected regional builders, because a great community deserves builders who care as much about quality as we do.
