United Properties' Outlook Market Research Report provides an in-depth analysis of commercial real estate conditions in the Twin Cities. The report reviews the office, industrial, retail, medical office, multi-family leasing and investment sale markets.

United Properties now provides a resource to track office, industrial and retail construction cost fluctuations year over year.

There are, as every Twin Cities resident knows, two real seasons in the metropolitan area: winter and road construction. Road construction season is about to become even more intense thanks to the record $1.2 billion that Minnesota is spending on transportation work this year, following last year’s then-record $1 billion worth of transportation spending. Given that a significant portion of the state transportation funding is targeted for the Twin Cities area, it’s worth taking a closer look at what this increase in spending could mean for the future of commercial development activity in the region.
