With increasing demand for commercial tenant space in the Twin Cities’ northwest suburbs, Opus Development Company sought to create a new, state-of the-art industrial business center in Maple Grove.

Working closely with the general contractor and Presbyterian Homes, Collins assisted in the design of the lighting, power, and technology systems for the entire 276-unit complex. The exceptional partnership between Collins, the general contractor and the owner allowed the project to move forward smoothly, despite pandemic-related staffing and supply chain challenges. Ultimately, the Flagstone project was completed ahead of schedule.
