The firm has leased 68,000 square feet at CSM Corp.\u2019s Midway Innovation Center I, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/top-10-office-buildings-with-highest-vacancies-in-the-twin-cities\/\">has been vacant since May 2018<\/a>. Avison Young represented the tenant, while Colliers worked on behalf of the landlord.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The Twin Cities market has proven to be a dynamic place to scale a tech company,<\/em>\u201d said Alula CEO Brian McLaughlin, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>Midway Innovation Center I was completed in 2005 at 2340 Energy Park Drive, just off Highway 280. In addition to the 68,000 square feet leased to Alula, the property also encompasses more than 32,000 square feet of industrial space, according to Yardi Matrix real estate data. The center is approximately 3 miles from the University of Minnesota, the location being one of the main factors which impacted the tech company\u2019s decision to relocate.<\/p>\n<p>The brokers involved in the deal included Eddie Rymer, Phil Kluesner and Jack Storry from Avison Young, and Eric Rapp, Eric Batiza and Brian Bruggeman from Colliers International.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Yardi Matrix<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The smart security systems producer plans to relocate its headquarters into CSM Corp.\u2019s Midway Innovation Center I, which has been vacant since May 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1064,"featured_media":1004290793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21784,21743,13,36076,21752,21742],"tags":[33022,32763,38734],"class_list":["post-1004290787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brokerage","category-deals","category-midwest","category-minneapolis-st-paul","category-mixed-use","category-latest","tag-avison-young","tag-colliers-international","tag-csm-corporation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
