Many owners of Class B and C buildings aren’t sure whether to sell, reinvest, or just hold on a little longer.

The hardest part isn’t the math - it’s understanding what options actually exist.
That’s where our Landlord Listing approach is different.

At Element, leasing isn’t a standalone service. It’s informed by asset management, project management, and strategic consulting. We’re not just filling space, we’re helping owners evaluate what’s possible and execute on it.
From value creation to lease-up to repositioning, our work reflects a broader lens on performance and long-term outcomes.

Swipe through to see what that looks like in action.

Proud to see Pillsbury Creative Commons recognized with a 2026 CoStar Impact Award and named a finalist for the Minnesota Real Estate Journal Awards.

More than a building, this project is about community, creativity, and opportunity — creating space for artists, entrepreneurs, and neighbors to connect and grow.

Grateful to have supported the work as owner’s representative alongside an incredible, mission-driven team. 💛

A new chapter at The Consortium!

Since acquiring the building in partnership with First Avenue last July, Element has taken on a more integrated role, combining ownership, landlord representation, project management, and leasing strategy to reposition the property for its next phase.

We’ve been focused on:
• Strategic leasing to support existing tenants & attract new creative office users
• Building and security upgrades, carefully phased to minimize disruption
• Aesthetic improvements, including a refreshed facade, new awning, and lobby upgrades featuring artwork and historic First Avenue posters

We’re also proud to share the completion of our new Element office in Suite 200, where we led the project from concept through construction, bringing our team into the heart of the Warehouse District as we enter our next decade of Driving Possibilities!

With renewed energy along the First Avenue corridor, we’re excited about what’s ahead for The Consortium and the role it can play in the continued evolution of the neighborhood.
