Schimberg Co., a regional PVF supply company headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has opened its first Minnesota location with a new lease in the Royal Gateway Commerce Center in Woodbury, Minnesota.
The new location will employ 25 to start with future employment growth expected in distribution, sales and customer service.
The Royal Gateway Building B at 11650 Hudson Road, was developed in 2023 by Greystar, one of the country’s largest owners of multifamily properties. With this lease, the building is 100% occupied. Schimberg is completing renovations to build 6,000 square feet of office space, an employee break room, a new drive-in door and a will-call area for contractors.
John Young, vice president – Advisory, Forte Real Estate Partners, represented Schimberg on site selection, site analysis and lease negotiation on an accelerated timeframe.
The company was able to move racking and inventory upon taking occupancy on March 1, which is when construction started on the improvements. Wally Tufvander, vice president – project management, Forte Real Estate Partners, is managing the construction project. Jorgenson Construction is the general contractor.
