Stay far away from any property or project the Excelsion Group is involved with. Why?

Excelsior Group is the developer for the community Adelaide Landing in Hugo, MN. They have touted their "achievement" of providing a community irrigation system, which relies on rain/runoff to sustain irrigation service to the community.

Instead, they have implemented a poorly designed community irrigation system which is wholly inadequate to meet the needs of the Villas community it's supposed to serve.

To make things worse, they have repeatedly failed to acknowledge or take action to correct the non-functioning irrigation system, lack of water capacity to serve irrigation needs for the homes, non-existent ownership of the issues.

There is a single retention pond serving 80+ homes. It is nowhere near capacity to serve irrigation needs. There are other ponds in the community that also contain irrigation water but they are separated for use for other single family homes and even though there is adequate water there it will not be moved to where it's needed.

The developer has thus far refused to take any action whatsoever, ignoring the issues as a stall tactic until they can transition the HOA board to homeowners who will then be required to pay to correct the poor design of the irrigation system.

Do yourself a favor. Buy somewhere else. If I could rate them 0 stars, I would have.
