Private real estate,
operated by owners.
We buy, build, lease and manage suburban office, flex and industrial buildings in the Twin Cities, with our own crews, brokers and managers under one roof. Tell us what brings you here.
Three kinds of people call us.
Owners who are done managing a building. Tenants who need space that works. And investors who want real estate income without the tenants, toilets and lender calls. One platform serves all three.
I own a building
Sell for cash, on terms, or contribute it tax-deferred to our fund through a 721 exchange.

I need space

I want to invest
Joint ventures, single-asset partnerships or the diversified AlphaDiv Real Estate Fund. Accredited investors only.
Three ways to invest →
One roof. Every function.
Most sponsors outsource the work that decides whether a value-add plan actually happens. We built the operating company first and the fund second. The people who underwrote the deal are the people who lease it, fix it and run it.
Sourcing
Off-market direct campaigns to owners. A written offer within three business days, with a 721 option on every offer.
Construction
In-house crews and a construction manager on every capital project and suite build-out. Cost variance standard under 2%.
Leasing
Our own licensed brokers and a spec-suite program that fills 1,000 to 2,500 SF suites in weeks, not quarters.
Management
AppFolio accounting with a monthly close, staff technicians by territory, and a portfolio manager who owns every tenant relationship.
Bought under-leased. Operated to full.
"I have personally hand-selected, underwritten and structured the capital for every asset we own, and I have more than $8.6 million of my own money in them. When you qualify to invest alongside us, my capital is already in the deal ahead of yours, and we drive the results with you."
