Tiller + Main
Formerly the Valley Green Mall, this development was integral to connecting Main Street in downtown LeSueur. Part of the building was demolished to make space for Main Street to connect. Main floor tenant spaces were remodeled or built out, including storefronts that would open onto Main Street. Tenants from the second level were moved down to the main floor. The second floor was then transformed into apartments.
56,000 SF. 17 apartments. 11 commercial suites.
3333 Hennepin – Missing Middle Housing
3333 Hennepin is a missing middle project in the South Uptown neighborhood. This Missing Middle project will provide more housing choices in walkable neighborhoods while meeting the scale of single-family neighborhoods. The project Owners and Architect worked closely on selecting building materials and finishes to maintain sustainability and design aesthetics. This housing project will provide 11 units and office space. The two buildings–one built where the existing single-family home was and the other where the detached garage was–are connected by decking and a stairwell to allow daylight into the units while providing outdoor space and connection to the neighborhood. This project focuses on quality of construction, quality of living, and sustainability.

The Marigold
The Marigold was the first mixed-use development constructed in Greater Mankato in decades. As such, this project required a constrained construction budget to line up with existing rental rates. Brennan Construction met this challenge with creatively formulating and effectively pricing various project aspects including; the exterior window system, the mechanical system, and other exterior materials.
Three issues encountered on this project included:
- completing the project on time (before the onset of winter conditions added costs),
- coordinating mechanical and electrical designs within the limited available space within the structure
- effectively tracking areas of costs under budget to allow the Owner to implement added scope, such as an electronic monument sign
