Recognition: Climate by Design International Wins a Minnesota Real Estate Journal Award
It’s always an honor when our work is recognized within the industry as award-worthy.

Each year, the Minnesota Real Estate Journal names one winning project in each of 40 different categories, and we’re thrilled that Climate by Design International’s (CDI) new Owatonna, MN, headquarters won a 2025 award in the Industrial – Greater Minnesota category.
Our team designed and built the new headquarters for CDI, a designer and manufacturer of custom desiccant dehumidifiers and critical process air handlers. The facility includes 162,640 square feet of manufacturing and 39,270 square feet of office. The building, which opened in late 2023, streamlines the company’s production and distribution capabilities by bringing all operations and employees under one roof.
As this Minnesota Real Estate Award attests, CDI’s new state-of-the-art facility is evidence of their commitment to sustainability, community engagement and world-class product design.
Congratulations to the entire team!
