Congratulations to all of Minnesota RE Journal’s Real Estate Awards finalists and winners. We join our client, FORCE America, and the entire project team in celebrating the honor of the Industrial – South Award.

The Minnesota Real Estate Journal hosts an annual Real Estate Awards program that showcases the top achievements and developments in the state of the past year.

FORCE America

FORCE America is a Minnesota-based company that engineers, manufactures and distributes hydraulic systems and components to a wide array of customers across the nation. To streamline processes and better connect their workforce, they consolidated three buildings into a new 80,000 SF headquarters that brings together operations, distribution and engineering. As a 100% employee-owned company, staff input was crucial in the design decisions, and the project budget aligned employee wellbeing with cutting edge operational upgrades. A diverse offering of employee amenities includes a maker’s space, fitness room, and large work café with fireplace and garage door access to an outdoor patio.
