2025 Best of Business: Property Services
Commercial Property Management
Gold | The Doran Group
It’s one thing to build a luxury development—it’s another to ensure that the property’s quality stays high. The Doran Group takes that long view for its managed property portfolio. Doran works to retain the trust that residents, tenants, investors, and cities place in the firm to operate premium developments. This approach can be found at Doran-managed properties like
The Villages at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove and Minneapolis’ Greenway Lakes Commons. In 2024, the Star Tribune named Doran’s Mill & Main in Minneapolis and The Reserve at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove to its list of best apartment communities.
