The Inspiration Behind Wildflower at Lake Elmo

Robert Engstrom

Robert Engstrom is no stranger to land development, but his approach is what sets him apart. In 2004 Robert Engstrom was honored to be named “Champion of Open Space”, by the Embrace Open Space Organization.

Embrace Open Space was a joint effort across multiple Twin Cities organizations concerned about protecting open spaces in our Minnesota communities. Their goal was to bring together individuals and organizations to become more vocal in public decision making about land protection in this region in and around the Twin Cities.

A History of Custom Homes and Conservation in the Twin Cities

This tradition and mission to develop environmentally friendly, conservation communities in the Twin Cities, carries forward today with Wildflower at Lake Elmo.

Robert Engstrom Companies has developed several residential communities in the Twin Cities including Cloverdale Farm and The Fields of St. Croix, which was the FIRST conservation community in Minnesota. The Fields of St. Croix was awarded two Best in American Living Awards at the National Association of Home Builder’s convention. The community also received the first permit from the MPCA for a constructed wetlands wastewater system.
