They say time flies when you’re having fun, and watching this project come to life with Guardian Angels has been a great reminder of that. From the first shovel in the ground to where the building stands today, this 4-story, 86-unit independent living addition in Albertville, MN is quickly becoming an exciting expansion for the community they serve.

As the need for senior living continues to grow, Guardian Angels Senior Services is investing in spaces that help residents stay connected to the people, community, and lifestyle they value most. It’s rewarding to help bring that vision to life alongside a client so deeply committed to caring for others.

A lot of progress has happened since day one, and that momentum is a reflection of the strong partnership between the entire project team, trade partners, and Guardian Angels staff. We’re proud to play a part in creating a space that will serve residents and families for years to come.

Proud to celebrate another milestone with Trelleborg Medical Solutions. Our 11th project together, and our 4th at their 751 facility in Delano, MN. The new 45,773 SF Trelleborg Medical Solutions Innovation Center is designed to support Trelleborg’s continued growth and commitment to accelerating the design and development cycle for their customers. The expansion will include a visitor center, additional high-end Swiss machining and injection molding capabilities, expanded automation lab space, and collaborative environments built to support innovation at every stage. To streamline efforts, this project is a consolidation/relocation of their existing Rapid Development Center from Plymouth.

This project reflects the continued investment Trelleborg is making in both their team and their customers. Creating a space that brings advanced manufacturing, automation, and collaboration together under one roof to better support the full process from prototyping to commercialization.

We’re grateful for the continued partnership and look forward to sharing progress as the project moves ahead.

In observance of Memorial Day, Bauer Design Build paused yesterday to honor and remember the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude.”

Proud to share the finished photos of Eagle Crest North in Onalaska, WI. A 5-story addition to the existing Independent Living community built to meet a growing demand in the region. And the demand showed up fast. The building was 99% leased before construction was even complete! A true reflection of the trust Eagle Crest Communities has built as the premier provider of senior services in Western Wisconsin.

Projects like this are never without challenges. Between evolving regulatory requirements, tight site constraints, coordinating with neighboring businesses, limited construction access, and some tricky elevation coordination, this team had to problem solve every step of the way. The difference-maker wasn’t avoiding challenges, it was having the right people at the table to navigate them together.

What’s most rewarding is seeing how all of those moving pieces came together in the final product. From the expansive amenity areas to the high-end finishes throughout, every detail was designed to create an experience that feels comfortable, elevated, and welcoming for residents to truly enjoy.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire! 🔥…Or just the BDB grill team firing up lunch at Zero Zone, Inc. in Ramsey, MN. 🍔🌭
We had a great time celebrating the progress of this 63,500 SF design-build addition alongside the incredible project team and trusted trade partners helping bring it to life. Once lunch wrapped up, it was back to work, safely and efficiently pushing the project forward.

This expansion will double Zero Zone’s production space, helping support their growing client needs and increasing backlog. Just as important, the project is designed to elevate the client experience from the moment customers walk through the door. The addition includes a dedicated client entrance, engineering room, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) space where customers can see their specific systems tested and verified to desired specifications before delivery. Reinforcing the unmatched service and best-in-class quality Zero Zone is known for.

This marks our third project together with Zero Zone, continuing a partnership focused on planning for future growth while executing today’s needs. We’re proud to have them as a repeat design-build client and grateful for the trust they continue to place in our team.

Next up: installation of the first of two 30-ton capacity bridge cranes, stay tuned!

Thankful for another great year at the MN Airports Conference 🛬. It is always time well spent connecting with airport partners, industry peers, and others who care deeply about the future of regional aviation in Minnesota. These conversations matter. From in-house conceptual design through final construction, Bauer's aircraft hangar projects are tailored to the needs of regional airports. Our work is built on close collaboration with airport stakeholders and a clear understanding of what drives long-term performance for the communities they serve.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to connect. Proud to be part of this industry and excited for what’s ahead.

🔨🦺 Framing is wrapping up over the next week at Belleston Residence, and the building is really starting to take shape. Right on cue, plumbing is underway and rough-ins have kicked off, with more trades lining up behind.
The end of the month is shaping up to be a busy one. Roofing, both shingle and flat, is scheduled along with Tyvek and window installation. It takes a lot of coordination, but this is where an experienced team makes the difference.
We’re especially proud to be working alongside Darla and Toua to bring their vision to life here in the Plymouth community.
Big credit to our project team and trade partners for staying organized, communicating well, and keeping the job moving forward the right way.
