Thanks to our incredible residents, teams and partners, we are proud to announce that our apartment communities enjoyed a podium sweep at this year’s “Minnesota’s Best” Awards, sponsored by the Minnesota Star Tribune. Our Aria-Edina community took home 1st place for “Minnesota’s Best Apartment Community,” with Mill & Main taking 2nd place and The Reserve at Arbor Lakes placing 3rd. We couldn’t be more thrilled! And to top it all off, The Doran Group placed among the top three property management companies in Minnesota! Thank you to the Minnesota Star Tribune and its readers for this great honor.

Thank you to the Urban Land Institute for hosting another outstanding Ideas Exchange this past week. The event centered on the profound impact of Baby Boomer retirements on multigenerational real estate ownership—an especially timely topic as many companies navigate the transition from one generation of leadership to the next.

As a locally owned, multigenerational business, we understand this journey firsthand. Our CEO and President, Evan Doran, was honored to share insights from our own succession planning process, which began nearly a decade ago.

Special highlights of the day included opening remarks from Paul Maenner of Maenner Properties and the keynote address by former Medtronic CEO and author Bill George, whose book True North continues to inspire leaders navigating change and purpose-driven growth.
