Dodd Road Business Center Addresses Demand for Modern Industrial Real Estate in Eagan, Minnesota

To address a need for modern industrial space, we developed, designed and constructed Dodd Road Business Center in Eagan, Minnesota

Located on the corner of Dodd Road and Opperman Drive, the 152,500-square-foot speculative industrial building offers tenants convenient access to major transportation routes including Interstates 35E, 494 and 94 and Highway 55.

Designed to meet the requirements of a variety of tenants, the highly functional industrial facility offers:

180 parking stalls
32-foot clear height ceiling
35 dock doors
two drive-in doors
135-foot truck court
trailer staging stalls

The exterior of the building features a brick façade with generous glass line windows. An outdoor patio was constructed on the south side of the building, providing opportunities for employees and visitors to enjoy the outdoors. There are four entrances into the building, which features LED lighting and modern finishes.

We worked closely with neighboring organizations and the city of Eagan to enhance the community by transforming the under-utilized property. Thomson Reuters planted and nurtured pollinator-friendly plants on the site, which we preserved by moving and re-establishing. We also moved a garden on-site for the next-door YMCA.

Tenant Improvement Delivered with “High-Level Service, Expert Knowledge"

On a very short timeline of 14 weeks, our design-builders delivered a 104,928-square-foot tenant improvement for Safe Fleet, a provider of integrated safety solutions for fleets.

Safe Fleet consolidated four locations into this new, upgraded space with additional dock space, greater storage capabilities and office space to grow their workforce.

“We always felt like we got high-level service and expert knowledge. The best part was if we would ask a question they didn't know the answer to, they would never try to make anything up. They would always go get the subject matter experts and get us the answer we needed. They were always extremely fast, and it really helped." – John Johnston, Director of Operations for Safe Fleet
