TOP 5: Updates from Q1

1. ndsu sponsorship campaign

ROERS is proud to be the Official Off-Campus Sponsor of NDSU Athletics. We offer 5 different apartment complexes/townhomes within minutes of the NDSU campus, making us a great option for housing for students.
This year, we opted to do a photo contest. Those who wanted to take part in this would click the link, think of a fun caption for the photo shown below, and fill out some basic info on a form to enter them in to win $200!

The winner will be announced mid- April.

2. RCC: The metropolitan

The Metropolitan is staying on our radar as the opening date of each phase fast approaches! The first section of this new building is slated to open on June 1st, with the connecting portion of the building opening July 1st, and the final phase opens August 1st. 

RCC and RPMR have been working hard to ensure the process of getting Metro ready to go is seamless.

Did you know, the RPMR team already secured their first 10 leases for the new addition?!

 

3. RW: ND National Guard Readiness Center

Progress update from Project Manager, Jerry Schiff:

  • Exterior structural masonry is at about 40% complete.
  • We just started on the exterior brick work this week.
  • Next week we will be starting in roofing on the first part of the roof.
  • Most of the underground site utilities have been put in.
  • In about two weeks we will be starting on final site grading on the project site.
  • In about a month from now we will be starting on prep work for the parking lots around the site.
  • On the interior of the building, we are in the process of getting floor slabs poured on the north side of the building.
  • Electrical and mechanical has been working on setting equipment in the mechanical room and they are starting to run piping inside of the building that is ready.
We are so excited to see this project come to life. 

4. RPM: SGc renamed!

The time has come. You all know we’ve been working on the current demo and remodel of the first floor of what’s currently known as SGC Apartments (Stop-N-Go Center). Since Stop-N-Go is no longer, and we are revamping the space, Roers is taking advantage of the opportunity to rename this property. 

You’ll see some signage adjustments as the process continues on.

SGC will be renamed to 1919 Flats!

5. who needs some swag?

It’s time for a POP UP SHOP! Roers and CI Sport have worked to put together a fun pop up with spring and summer options. 

If you’re a golfer, you’re really going to want to check this one out!

Alex Nielson

Alex has stepped up in the safety area these past few months. It was recently noticed that he has been taking a new employee under his wing and coaching them in safe practices for finish work. Alex wears his PPE before being asked to and ensures others have theirs on as well.

Dylan Bruner

fargo

project engineer

Dylan is the future of Roers; he works hard and cares about his job, others, and the company. He has the "whatever it takes" attitude.

accountant

Dee has been working diligently behind the scenes in getting a new credit card system set up (which has had a few challenges) and then she has also worked 1:1 with Superintendents and others so they can learn the new system and to be able to put it into action.

Opportunity
Alexia- she is for opportunity she has really taken on more tasks on the RPMR side of things. Always asking for more and ways to improve. She has taken a great lead on the Dickinson team and the chance to work in Fargo for leasing has been a great opportunity for her to jump into!
Respect
Mataya has taken on a significant amount of workload and responsibility with the day-to-day accounting of so many of Roers main operating entities, along with all of Roers investment entities as well as 3rd party properties managed over the past year. Mataya has shown great passion to learn and grow within her own knowledge and skill set, but also taken it upon herself to make sure that the accounting and support is there for the operational teams if they have any questions or need assistance. Mataya has provided myself with a significant amount of comfort in training and teaching me the property management side, as well as the trust that I can instill in her to get the job done and done correctly. She is a great asset to the accounting team, property management team, and the entire entity as a whole.
Expertise
You would think that Dickie has his PPE glued into position, as they are always on. He has been seen speaking safety to his coworkers and speaks up when hazards are present. It's truly a victory when an employee puts thought into safety instead of being complacent like Dickie does.
Experiences
Matt has continued to strengthen himself. He recently took the opportunity to run and experience the Deadwood Half Marathon in June. GO Matt! We are cheering you on!
Community
Community for Heidi! She is going above and beyond with give and grow and is participating in a United way volunteer group
Partnership
The Fargo Shop Crew have been a huge help to the marketing team when we have random requests! Some examples are - they pick up big print job orders for us, help get banners on trailers and then on the job site, build sign frames and many other projects. We appreciate their help when we have random (and sometimes urgent) requests!

Stay tuned for next quarter's newsletter!
