Brennan Companies worked as the Construction Manager with architecture and engineering firm Widseth (formerly Widseth Smith Nolting) to remodel a new Rochester location. The firm had acquired another firm and was moving across town to make space for all the staff to work together in the same location.

This project is unique in the fact that the project Owner is the same as the Architect. The project was designed with collaboration in mind as well as to show off the Architect’s skill by adding in bold architectural details and unique features.

The 5 story mixed-use building, developed by Brennan Properties and built by Brennan Construction, is open! Located in the center of Mankato, between Downtown and Old Town, Mankato and North Mankato, this project will be a hub of activity, bridging the gap between various parts of town.

Surface parking, 6 luxury apartments on 5th floor, fitness center on 1st floor.

Spaces are available for lease on 1st, 2nd and 4th floor. Contact CBC Fisher Group for leasing information: 507-625-4715.

The Shared Spaces building is a center in downtown Mankato that is home to numerous nonprofit organizations. Brennan Companies was contracted as the Construction Manager at Risk for Mankato Area Foundation to renovate the existing law firm.

This beautiful project was designed with collaboration in mind. There are various offices, conference rooms and work spaces with space for groups to work together. During the project collaboration was important. With an older building, surprises can happen and plans may no longer be accurate. Field measuring were a must. Minor adjustments were made without the need for change orders. This project came in under budget and money was returned to the Owner.

EI Microcircuits’ facility was built from the ground up just outside of town in an area that is now known for large industrial and manufacturing facilities.

The factory portion was designed with efficiency and quality management in mind and therefore had to be built to match those same efficiency and quality standards.

Due to the nature of EI Microcircuits’ work with circuit boards and electronics, precision and security were top priorities on this project. This would be their third manufacturing facility to house their work space as well as front end office space.

To make way for Mankato’s Performing Arts Center, US Bank agreed to relocate into an existing adjacent apartment building.  The building was renovated to make space for the Mankato home office.

It boasts two floors of banking services. There is a walk in lobby with tellers and a few offices on the first floor. The second floor includes a reception area and more office space with access to the adjacent parking ramp. The need for a drive-through meant adding on so that it was built into an existing parking ramp.

The early stages of the renovation and repurpose of the Landkamer Building required design vision, accurate pricing, attention to detail regarding safe demolition and construction processes, and an awareness of the total project scope and cost.  As tenants began leasing space in the building, subsequent renovation efforts required close communication with existing tenants to minimize disruption.

The development, construction, repurposing, and leasing efforts were successful.  This projected started the wave of commercial development in downtown Mankato.

Brennan Construction worked as General Contractor in the new construction of a one story fire station in Ramsey, Minnesota.

Fire Station #2 sits on a 2.34 acre property. The 12,000 square foot building not only houses the Fire Department but also includes space for a satellite Police Department office and squad car stall, as well as a satellite Allina Emergency Ambulance vehicle stall and additional meeting space that serves as a new location for community activities.

“Public safety is an important priority in Ramsey.  This building has been carefully planned to ensure it enhances the City’s ability to provide that safety today and into the future,” Ramsey Mayor Sarah Strommen.
