Tree Trust

Non-Profits

Overview:

Tree Trust was located in a building in the western suburbs of Minneapolis that was inefficient in serving their space needs. IAG Commercial represented Tree Trust in leasing an office showroom building in St Paul, MN

Goals:

Tree Trust was located in approximately 20,000 sq. ft. in St Louis Park and wanted to consolidate their space. The search included a 15-minute radius of their current location. They desired a new location that allowed them to reallocate usage of the building, provide a more centralized location to better serve their clients and reduce overhead costs.

Challenges:

Tree Trust desired a location that achieved a balance between three key criteria; better space utilization, more centralized location and outside storage for landscape materials and equipment. IAG Commercial had difficulty finding a centralized warehouse location that allowed an outdoor storage area. It was also difficult to find a building that provided the necessary docks/drive-in doors but yet supported a heavy office build out. The project had the additional challenge of being rushed under the time constraint of the existing lease.

Solutions:

In the end we were able to find a location that met ALL the client’s needs. They signed a 5 year lease for 11,322 square feet in the St. Paul Midway area. The St. Paul Midway area was perfectly located to be accessible to their clientele and employees. The new facility provided outside storage area for short-term landscape deliveries. Tree Trust experienced a more fluid flow of business processes in a building that was better equipped for their office and warehouse needs.
