Oppidan Investment Company, a national property development firm headquartered in Excelsior, Minnesota, is expanding into the medical office industry with its latest project, creating a specialty center for Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota.
The new AERC specialty center, in Oakdale, Minnesota, includes 45,000 square feet spanning three floors. The building will contain veterinary offices as well as state-of-the-art technical spaces, including exam rooms, MRI and CT rooms, and additional surgical suites, allowing AERC to increase sorely-needed capacity for emergency and specialty services for pets from the Midwest.
Oppidan began working with AERC in 2021, conducting project management through the bidding, contract administration and contract negotiation of the new project. Oppidan is continuing its work on the AERC specialty center through project administration and oversight to ensure the project is completed on time and on budget.
Oppidan broke ground in August 2021 and construction is expected to be completed in Fall 2022.
