Big move for Farm Credit Foundations!

Monarch Commercial Real Estate was proud to represent Farm Credit Foundations in a significant headquarters expansion and relocation. Farm Credit Foundations provides retirement and benefit plan administration services to organizations across the agricultural and financial services industries.

The challenge was clear from day one: secure a space nearly 50% larger while maintaining disciplined occupancy costs and positioning the organization for future growth. Just as important, the team wanted to create a workplace environment that people genuinely wanted to come back to — one that supports collaboration, culture, and connection for years to come.

After evaluating multiple options throughout the market, the decision was made to relocate from downtown Saint Paul to Mendota Heights. The new headquarters provides a larger, more efficient footprint aligned with the organization’s long-term vision while creating an elevated experience for employees and visitors alike.

Special thanks to both and Onward Project Development Services for their help in bringing this space to life! Excited for what’s ahead for the Farm Credit Foundations team and grateful for the opportunity to help advise on such an important decision.

Big wins for great partners 👏

Several months ago, (RSP) came to us with what every company hopes for — exponential growth. Their team was expanding faster than their Linden Hills office could support, yet they were committed to leases that stretched years into the future. In the near term, relocation didn’t seem possible. But growth waits for no one.

We focused on delivering a solution that allowed them to move quickly while matching their style and culture — prioritizing minimal capital costs, an attractive rate, and a neighborhood that provided the same walkable amenities their people were accustomed to. We found exactly that in the North Loop at the Loose-Wiles Building.

In a matter of months, RSP will bring their entire team together under one roof - spanning two floors connected by a massive internal stairwell that doubles as an all-company meeting space. This designed space already aligns beautifully with their aesthetic and will be refreshed to fully reflect the RSP brand.

In parallel with the new negotiations, Monarch successfully negotiated a favorable termination for their remaining lease obligations in Linden Hills — eliminating any ongoing risk of subleasing and/or decommissioning the space.

Rise and Shine and Partners is a fast-growing, strategy-led creative agency known for helping brands stand out through bold thinking and meaningful storytelling. Their trajectory has been nothing short of impressive, and we’re proud to support them in this next phase of growth!

If your current space no longer fits your business but a future lease expiration makes a move feel out of reach, think again. You may have more options than you anticipate.
