Sanctuary Delivers Class A Speculative Industrial in Blaine, Minnesota
Demand for industrial facilities in low-congestion areas is increasing, and the Twin Cities market is no exception. Finding locations with available land and significant access to metropolitan areas can be challenging.
The city of Blaine, located 15 miles north of Minneapolis, offers prime access to both Minneapolis and the north central submarket but had limited available land and functional Class A industrial space.
To help bridge the gap, attract new companies to the area and enable existing businesses to expand, we developed, designed and constructed a speculative industrial building called Sanctuary Business Center. It offers easy-to-access space within a two-minute drive of the region's busy Interstate 35W corridor and brings new job opportunities to communities in Blaine and the surrounding suburbs.
