Watch the video to hear directly from our team members about their commitment to keeping our job sites safe.
TOP 5: Updates from Q3
1. Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies
The third quarter brought two ribbon cutting celebrations for Roers! In August, we marked the opening of our new Bismarck office with the Bismarck Mandan Chamber. The festivities continued with our Bismarck/Minot 50th anniversary celebration, bringing together local vendors and current and former employees to connect and tour the new office space.
In September, we celebrated the ribbon cutting at The Skyline apartments in North Fargo alongside the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber. Team members from across Roers and outside vendors joined us for the ceremony and tours of the new property.
2. Roers east: Oriska Rest Stop Completion
An update from Project Manager, Finn Gibson.
The Oriska Rest Stop project consisted of two large construction projects and budgets. One for the building itself and one for the site and paving. Roers took on the building while another contractor took on the infrastructure and parking lots. With these two projects being under two contracts, we had to undergo quite a bit of coordination between the contractors and the public which was difficult. The project had its ups and downs but overall, it was a great project.
The building began shaping up in the spring of 2025 with earthwork and foundations. During the foundation period, we had a tornado go through Enderlin and the winds made its way to the site. It’s not every day you have winds like that go through and flip your job trailer, semi-trailers, and materials. We continued to push through on the project and didn’t let that slow us down. A fun feature of this project was the structure itself. The building consisted of multiple structure types coming together. Starting with concrete foundations, to structural masonry walls and steel columns/beams. The most noticeable structural feature was the heavy glulam timber construction which is fully exposed in the lobby of the building.
3. RW: project updates
Our team has been busy with projects across western North Dakota! Recent completions include the MSU Classroom and Student Center, Farm Credit in Wishek, and a small project at the Dickinson Library. Work continues at the Dickinson Airport and on the Meadows and Prairie apartment remodels, while demolition is underway at Parshall Pharmacy.
We’re also converting the Dickinson Applebee’s into a dual-brand Applebee’s and IHOP, with a similar project planned in Williston after the new year. Farm Credit in Carson will begin soon.
4. rpmr: turnover recap
A Recap from Lindsey O’Driscoll, General Manager
It’s been an exciting season for our Residential team! With summer move-ins successfully completed, our leasing agents are keeping the momentum going by hosting fun property events that help build connections with new and longtime residents.
Another highlight was celebrating The Skyline’s opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, bringing together the Roers team and the Fargo community to mark this exciting milestone!

5. roers real estate: a buyer's market means opportunity
A message from Anne Kallhoff, Roers Real Estate Agent
Higher interest rates may be getting a lot of attention, but today’s real estate market is creating opportunities for buyers that we haven’t seen in quite some time.
With more inventory available and homes spending longer on the market, buyers have more choices, more negotiating power, and more time to make the right decision. Instead of competing against multiple offers and paying well over asking price, buyers may have an opportunity to negotiate on price, closing costs, repairs, or other terms.
While rates are higher than the historically low rates we saw a few years ago, the interest rate is only one piece of the equation. You can refinance a mortgage if rates come down—you can’t go back and renegotiate the price you paid for the home.
For buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines, this market may be worth another look. The right combination of purchase price, seller concessions, and financing options can create an opportunity that may not be there when rates fall and buyer competition picks back up.
Thinking about buying? Let’s run the numbers and see what today’s market could look like for you.

Q3 peer recognition award winners
Pier Hansen
roers property management
dickinson
leasing agent
Pier has been a great employee to join the Dickinson team and RPMR. She has never done property management but she has dived in and has learned quickly. She is always looking at different opportunities to help the residents, property and her and Jason out here succeed.
Larry Bjerkebeck
Roers property management
fargo
Maintenance Technician
Larry is always willing to help where it is needed. When asked to get something done he jumps at it with a smile on his face. Many of the RPMR employees missed his can do attitude while he was gone and are happy to have him back on the team.
Travis Freih
Roers management
fargo
IT Manager
Travis does a fantastic job rolling with the punches of the difficulties of a building under construction, regarding keeping the network up and running. Now, it might be a huge hiccup to lose the network when someone accidentally cuts power to the server room, and the first person that we might want to blame for the outage is IT. In reality, Travis has to jump into action and get it back online, under duress, and I feel that its always in a timely manner, considering the circumstances.
Celia Reisenauer
roers management
Fargo
Front Desk Associate
Celia came to Roers to help Sammy during her surgery recovery and has been an asset, or as Jim calls her, our Unicorn! Celia is willing to step in wherever she is needed without hesitation or complaint, creating opportunities for team success through her positive attitude and commitment to others. She is reliable, has teamwork, and a willingness to help, which has earned her the respect of everyone!
Jackson Heggeness
roers construction
Fargo
Project Engineer - Field
SAFETY - Jackson's awareness of his surroundings, and others working on site. The main thing that stands out to me is, Jackson is a young individual who has taken the opportunity and shown he has the ability to lead and recognize, or ask the questions about safety concerns. He will take the lead when it comes to safety, and has quickly become someone others can count on to watch out for all on site. His awareness, willingness to speak up, and concern for others are qualities that will serve him well as he continues to grow in his career.

success in the office
Jenna Abraham
Roers Management
Fargo
Marketing Property Specialist
If we had to describe this team member in one word, it would be Dependable. Since joining Roers, she has become someone every department can count on. She spent her first two years providing exceptional support to property management, offering consistent communication, professionalism, and a positive experience for the entire team. When her role expanded company-wide in 2025, she brought that same level of expertise and organization to all of Roers. From branding and marketing projects to events, promotions, and more, she keeps everything running smoothly—most of it behind the scenes. During our busiest season of turnover for property management, she jumps in wherever help is needed: covering offices, supporting leasing, assisting with events, completing move-outs, or working late to open buildings. She responds quickly, stays on top of deadlines, and always brings a friendly, team-first attitude. She does not push back—she simply helps. Organized, reliable, and always supportive, she is a true team player.
success in the field
Ethan Saunders
roers construction
Fargo
project engineer - field
If we had to describe this award recipient in one word, it would be helpful. He’s always ready to jump in, fill a gap, and do whatever the team needs to keep the project moving forward. Since joining Roers, he has filled a vital role — especially this summer. He stepped up on our civil-heavy projects, operated machinery whenever needed, and helped cover the void without hesitation while another team member was injured. He also took initiative by earning his Class Unrestricted license, allowing him to assist every job site by hauling equipment and keeping operations running efficiently. His reliability quickly made him a go-to resource across multiple sites. He has grown into a strong field leader. His steady presence and willingness to guide others made a difference on every project he touched — especially on Lashkowitz during framing. His drive, work ethic, and commitment to growth have made him an invaluable member of the Roers field team.
success in the field
Jim Brakke
roers construction
fargo
superintendent ii
If we had to describe this team member in one word, it would be dedicated. After 15 years with Roers, he continues to lead with a can-do attitude and a level of commitment that sets the bar for everyone around him. He’s truly a company man who bleeds Roers red. This summer at Kwik Trip, he showed exactly what that dedication looks like. Even during long, demanding weeks, he pushed the crew forward, kept morale steady, and led by example through every challenge. He provides a plan every morning for each person to follow and gives clear expectations for where we should be at the end of the day—always keeping the project moving in the right direction. This team member leads with intention and integrity. He pushes his crew to be their best and never asks anyone to do something he wouldn’t do himself. Whether he’s coordinating, problem-solving, or putting on his tools to jump in, he does whatever it takes to get the job done.
community service
Mack Buck
roers management
Fargo
Safety Manager
If we had to describe this Community Servant in one word, it would be committed. His dedication to serving others shows up in everything he does—both in the community and here at Roers. He is actively involved with Heroes Compass, a nonprofit supporting veterans and first responders, and even earned an Honorable Mention for his wings at their 1st Annual Wing Cook-Off. This past September, he encouraged co-workers to use their VTO to walk with him in the 2.2-mile Suicide Awareness Prevention walk, helping bring attention to an important cause. He has also volunteered his time answering phones during the Radiothon for Sanford Children’s Hospital. He helps a local church when they change light bulbs from a scissor lift annually as well. Inside Roers, he is the dependable “honorary member” of nearly every committee and a key part of the United Way team—especially in engaging field crew members in the campaign. His reliability, compassion, and service-minded attitude make a real difference.
safety champion
Matt Leidy
roers west
Bismarck
superintendent i
If we had to describe this year’s Safety Champion in one word, it would be Prepared. No matter the project, he is always scanning for hazards, correcting near misses, and ensuring every task begins and ends with safety in mind. This team member looks out for everyone on site—Roers employees and subcontractors. He consistently submits near-miss forms, makes on-the-spot corrections, and steps in immediately when something isn’t safe. As a dedicated member of the Safety Committee, he brings ideas, real-world concerns, and meaningful solutions to the table. He recently gathered information on a new hard hat offering, demonstrating again that he’s always thinking ahead and advocating for the well-being of our teams. With him, safety is never an afterthought—it’s the priority. His diligence, care, and leadership have made our job sites safer and our people better protected every single day.
