Earlier this summer, Great States Construction proudly broke ground on The Setting, a new luxury community in the heart of Edina. For our team, this moment was more than the start of another project—it marked the beginning of a meaningful new chapter.
As President Michael Casper shared, “Breaking ground on The Setting in Edina is more than the start of a new project, it feels like coming home. I spent the early years of my career here in the Twin Cities, on job sites, learning from mentors, and figuring out what kind of builder I wanted to be. To come back now, years later, with a team I’m proud to have built, and start something new in this community, it’s hard to put into words.”
About The Setting
Planned for 150 units, The Setting will deliver unprecedented luxury with a blend of thoughtful design, modern finishes, and curated amenities. More than just another multifamily community, The Setting was envisioned to reflect Edina’s character and offer residents a place where sophistication meets comfort. From top-tier interiors to wellness-inspired spaces, every detail is being designed with future residents in mind.
More Than Materials
As Michael explained, this project is about more than tile, steel, and glass. It’s about people:
-
The residents who will one day call this community home.
-
The talented teams working tirelessly to bring the vision to life.
-
The city of Edina, whose high standards of excellence inspire us to deliver our very best.
At Great States Construction, we know that the spaces we build are more than structures—they’re communities. And with The Setting, we’re honored to bring that belief to life in Edina.
Looking Ahead
Breaking ground is symbolic—it represents not only the first step in construction, but also the start of new relationships, opportunities, and stories. We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey so far, from our partners and teams to the City of Edina, and we’re excited to see The Setting continue to take shape.
This is just the beginning.
