Celebrating Earth Day with Hands-On Action 🌍🌱
This Earth Day, our team rolled up their sleeves and got a little dirty—on purpose! Employees from our Eden Prairie office came together for a pond-side clean-up just outside our corporate HQ. From hauling trash to clearing brush, we left the area cleaner, greener, and buzzing with good energy. It’s one small way we’re giving back to the planet we all share—and having a little fun while we’re at it.
In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Our offices will be closed on Monday, January 20, 2025, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As individuals, as colleagues and as a company, we are grateful to be able to take time to reflect upon the civil rights giants who have propelled our nation forward. The below are clips we pulled from a documentary found in the Library of Congress’ online archives. It features footage from the “Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom,” a civil rights demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial held on May 17, 1957 – which was co-chaired by Dr. King.
We invite you to watch the entire 1957 film for its historic value, but we have also taken the liberty of pulling out two key highlights: a brief speech about the pilgrimage, a lesser known speech by Dr. King that was delivered six years before his famous “I have a dream” speech, as well as a moving performance by renowned gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.

The Doran Group Sells 610 West for $113 Million, Reinvests in New Developments
The Doran Group announces Successful $113 Million Sale of 610 West Apartments
Proceeds will be reinvested into new projects, including new active adult community in Maple Grove
Eden Prairie, MN – The Doran Group today announced the successful sale of its 610 West apartment community in Brooklyn Park for just under $113 million, ushering in a new era for the multigenerational company led by Evan Doran. Proceeds from the sale of the four-building, 480-unit apartment community, completed in 2019, will be reinvested into new projects later this spring, including The Doran Group’s added focus on Active Adult living communities and build-to-rent projects.
“610 West was our family’s second multifamily project we developed, designed, built and managed – and so I have a sentimental attachment to this project,” said The Doran Group President and CEO Evan Doran. “That said, as the second-generation leader of our company, I’m eager to position our organization for the next 50 years – and that includes aligning our existing portfolio with our plans to expand regionally into additional states as well as into new categories like active adult.”
With the sale of 610 West now complete, Doran has given the green light to proceed with his vision for a multi-city active adult brand called “Olinia,” with the first community breaking ground this summer in Maple Grove and other sites in various stages of land acquisition and entitlement across the upper Midwest.
“I remain bullish on the active adult sector in addition to our traditional luxury market-rate multifamily portfolio,” said Doran. “And with our Reserve at Arbor Lakes community in Maple Grove continuing to lead our portfolio’s strong performance,” said Doran, “deepening our investment in this community makes good business sense. We have a strong reputation in Maple Grove for enhancing high-end housing options – and we are eager to grow our footprint here and beyond.”
The 124-unit 55+ “Olinia-Arbor Lakes” will be constructed in Maple Grove adjacent to The Doran Group’s existing Reserve at Arbor Lakes apartment and townhome gated community and its Village at Arbor Lakes retail center. The Doran Group’s in-house architecture and construction firms will serve as Olinia’s designer and general contractor.
