Enclave Companies is building a new home office in West Farg… – Prairie Business

The new facility will be much larger than the 7,000-square-foot building that the company currently is using in Fargo.

Most of our offices are doubled up right now, so were out of space from that perspective, Enclave Companies co-founder Austin Morris said in a phone interview on Feb. 7 with Prairie Business. So itll be nice to have some extra space.

Morris and business partner Ben Meland opened their company in 2011, but in the past eight years they have moved four different times due to company growth and the need for more space. Morris said besides providing more room, the building now under construction will accommodate the company well into the future.

Were trying to plan longer term so we wont have to move again, Morris said. It will certainly accommodate us for the next decade and allow us to have more flexibility.

One tenant has already rented 25,000 square feet of space in the three-story building, Meland said, and the company will lease the remaining space on the second floor.

Construction of the new facility, whichthe partners said will feature expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, underground parking, timeless design and a variety of amenities including electronic charging stations, is expected to be finished by January 2020 or before. It will house between 250 and 300 people.

The business partners of Enclave, a fully integrated company that specializes in multi-family, commercial and industrial spaces, wanted to make their own space inviting and spacious, knowing that employees work better when they have room to stretch with various amenities and natural lighting.

One particular inviting feature of the building will be the open rooftop, Meland said, where employees can take their lunch breaks on the outdoor patio and use the provided grilling stations or firepit.

The building will have a fantastic lobby, Morris said, that spills into the outdoor space. There's a shared conference room overhanging the lobby on the second floor that can be used by any of the tenants and hopefully add value to everyone working there.

The owners said the future of their company looks bright literally with the facilitys natural light amenities, but also figuratively with many projects underway and years yet to grow.

Some of the companys current projects being developed include downtown Fargos 300 Lime, Fargo Center for Dermatology, MedPark Medical Center and the recently completed lifestyle center, Uptown and Main on Veterans Boulevard.

The company also recently expanded into the Twin Cities market with mixed-use and multi-family buildings currently under construction in Maple Grove, Shakopee and Savage, Minn.
