About

We love what we do!

We invest in commercial buildings in prime suburban locations in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan area. Sometimes they need a little love, sometimes they need a lot. We turn them into high-quality, operationally superior buildings for tenants who want a better experience. Our goal is to create exceptional spaces, provide skilled property maintenance and an unsurpassed level of property management and leasing — resulting in an incomparable experience for our tenants.
