Gaughan Prepares for Multi-Family Development Project in Shakopee

The Shakopee City Council approved the 126-unit multi-family development for downtown Shakopee, proposed by Gaughan, at their July 3 meeting. Minnesota-based commercial real estate developer, Gaughan has an affinity for sites with the potential of the Shakopee project. Senior VP of Commercial Accounts Dan Hebert says, “[Gaughan’s] primary focus is redeveloping sites and revitalization of downtown markets.”

This piece of land on the north end of downtown faces the Minnesota River. The team at Gaughan has planned for an apartment community with five stories, underground parking, and a restaurant on the first floor.

Gaughan’s most recent multi-family development, Lighthouse Lofts Luxury Apartments located in the downtown community overlooking the lake, will open next month in Forest Lake, Minn.

Gaughan Senior Brokerage Associate Facilitates 495-Acre Listing

In a recent article, the Prior Lake American covered the sale of a 495-acre listing, owned by a local family in Prior Lake, Minnesota. While the details of how the land will be divided are not complete, the number of interested buyers continues to increase.

“So far, it’s been a combination of out-of-state and international-type investors, local investors, and everything in between,” Tom Opsahl said. “It’ll be really interesting to see over the next 12 months how it turns out.”

Gaughan Remodels for Chic iLash Beauty Bar

Congratulations to iLash Beauty Bar on opening their Forest Lake location! Owner Jacqueline Loerzel leased her new space in December with the help of our VP of Commercial Accounts, Lucas Gaughan, and she is now open for business in the Town Square Building.

The iLash Beauty Bar is a peaceful and relaxing boutique. Gaughan Construction was grateful for the opportunity to remodel the new space. Jacqueline has been in the industry for 11 years and enjoys getting to know her clients and their families. She has even provided a dedicated area for children to play in while they wait. Jacqueline has many clients who drive up from the Twin Cities, so this location was a perfect option.

You can visit Jacqueline at iLash Beauty Bar at their new location: 20 N Lake St, Suite 320, Forest Lake, MN 55025
