The Rose of Ames

EverGreen’s mission is to remain ahead of the curve in recognizing and developing housing opportunities to serve the rental and homeowner population. Founded in 1995 by owner/developer Gregory McClenahan, EverGreen Real Estate Development Corporation (EverGreen) has engaged in a variety of real estate development projects serving the Upper Midwest, ranging from affordable housing to executive home sites.

A primary focus to date has been the development and management of affordable housing to alleviate the critical need for quality housing for moderate-to-low-income families and seniors in Minnesota and Iowa. We have combined quality construction and affordable rates in five communities serving families in Minnesota (4) and Iowa (1), and six communities serving seniors in Iowa.

In addition to real estate development activities, EverGreen currently manages and markets over 600 rental units under a management contract or through cooperative ventures. Our experienced, professional staff continually explore ways to meet the ever-expanding challenges of managing and marketing rental housing. EverGreen provides congregate meals and Open Arms and its therapy partner provide on-site supportive services such as skilled nursing, therapies, and personal care to over 250 residents of the Rose Communities.
