2024 Turnover Recap!

The busiest time of the year for our property management residential team has wrapped up for 2024. Turnover is the time of the year where our properties move out and move in over 100 units from their apartment/townhome/single family home.

Our team handled move ins and move outs between six properties in town, with five being in North Fargo and one property in South Fargo. From maintenance to marketing to leasing agents and vendors, everyone put in all their time and dedication to making this process as easy as possible.

The process takes a team effort to ensure everyone keeps on schedule with their part of the process. From the moment a tenant moves out, there is a short time frame to have maintenance, painters, carpet cleaners, cleaning crews and spot checks completed before the new tenants move in. This year we changed the process slightly to spread out the move outs and move ins so it was not such a strenuous process over a one week period for the leasing team and vendors. The Roers team was able to move tenants into 110 units between July 31 and August 15.

Turnover season starts for the residential team around July 20th to August 15th. During this time, we worked through over 100 move outs, working with our maintenance team and outside vendors in a timely manner. With the new turnover process, we were able to schedule move ins in three different increments. This year, we had a brand-new leasing and maintenance team, and we were able to all work together and accomplish this all as one team. We are very excited for our new residents and upcoming year!

Lindsey O'Driscoll - General Manager

Whether you are a student living in one of our North properties or are a new resident living in our south property, we look forward to getting to know you all through the next year. Thank you for making Roers your new home.

Tips for a Cool and Comfortable Summer Apartment

Summer is quickly approaching, which means sunshine, long days, and heat are all headed are all way! However, the transition from winter to the balmy summer months can make it difficult to maintain a comfortable and cool living space. Keep reading to learn some strategies for keeping your apartment at its best.

Add Some Plants to Your Space 

Houseplants can be a great way to brighten up your space, and they bring nature to you. Though many people believe houseplants are difficult to keep alive, it’s all about doing a little research to know how to care for it! And if you don’t want the responsibility of a live plant, fake ones are always an option.  

If you have pets, remember to make sure your plants are non-toxic. Many popular houseplants, such as monsteras, peace lilies, and philodendrons can be poisonous if ingested. However, there are plenty of non-toxic options out there. 

Change Your Sheets 

It’s recommended to change your sheets once or twice every two weeks in the summertime. There’s no better feeling than falling asleep on freshly laundered sheets, and washing regularly keeps them looking and smelling their best.  

If you’re a warm sleeper, look into sheets that will allow the best ventilation. Fabrics like cotton and linen can provide a cooler sleep.  

Be Smart about Cooling  

Roers’ maintenance technician manager, Ben Dickson, advises maintaining a consistent cool temperature instead of waiting until it gets hot to turn on the air conditioning.  

“It’s most cost effective to run your AC at night as it does not have to work as hard, thus costing less on electricity. East and west facing windows will get the most sun,  so keeping curtains drawn during the day, especially at the peak of the afternoon between 12-3pm when it gets hottest, will keep your unit at consistent temperatures more easily. 

The more heavily you fluctuate temperatures, the more money it will cost you. Waiting until it’s too hot in your unit to turn on the air/open windows will result in the AC not being able to keep up, and not cool as effectively.” 

Declutter!  

If your house is starting to feel a little messy or dusty, it might be time to declutter.   

If you get overwhelmed at the prospect of getting rid of things, take it one room at a time. If there are items you are unsure about, put a sticky note on them with a date a few months away. If you don’t use the items by that time, donate them to a thrift store or charity.  

When you declutter, you’re not only getting rid of things you don’t use, but also cleaning and dusting as you go. This can go a long way in keeping your house fresh in the hot summer months.  

Take the Trash Out 

If you’re reading this while eyeing the overflowing trashcan in your kitchen, it’s time to take it out. Invest in a trashcan with a lid to keep smells contained. Additionally, don’t let full bags sit out for long – take it out right away. As a rule of thumb, the kitchen trash should be emptied every few days to keep out bad smells and any bugs that might come with them.  

Replace Heavy Curtains 

Heavy blackout curtains may be a popular choice for bedrooms, especially when the daylight lasts longer during the summer months. However, they can also make a space feel drab and dusty. Try replacing blackout curtains with something more lightweight for warmer months. Sunlight may help you wake up naturally and can make the room feel larger.

Clean or Change Air Filters 

Over time, buildup can gather in your vents and air filters, which might make your AC unit less effective. Summer can also be one of the worst times of year for those with seasonal allergies, but keeping a clean air filter can reduce some sneezing.

We hope you find these tips helpful! With a little bit of planning, you can keep your apartment comfortable all summer long.

Roers Closes Sale of U32 and T Loft Apartments

U32 Ph 1 & 2 exterior

Roers recently announced it has closed on the sale of U32 Apartments and T Loft Apartments in Fargo, ND.

In 2005, Roers brought the concept of premier private student housing to North Dakota State University and has become the leader of off-campus student housing with top notch amenities, security, and all-inclusive rent payments. Between T Lofts and U32 Apartments these projects have provided 414 units of premier housing to the North Fargo community. The Roers team developed, constructed, and managed T Lofts and U32 Apartments. During this time, the team served thousands of residents with a premier living experience and had the opportunity to be a resource for college students to have a great living experience right next to campus.  “With the recent success of leasing our buildings with over 95% occupancy rates, we were aware these properties were in optimal position to sell, especially with the current low interest rate environment, commented Danielle Paulus, Roers Chief Operating Officer.

HB Ledges Management, based in Arizona, has taken over ownership and property management of both properties. HB Ledges has experience in student housing and is excited to invest in North Dakota. The Roers team will continue to be a resource for the new owners as consultants during the first year.

“We are excited to be investing in the Fargo market and look forward to continuing the premier experience Roers provided at the buildings,” said Howard Berger, Managing Director for HB Ledges.

T Lofts is located across from the NDSU campus just off 12th Avenue. Built in 2012, the property has 181 units and is equipped with amenities perfect for students to enjoy from fitness rooms, study rooms, lounge with billiards, and underground parking. All amenities plus air, heat, internet, and cable are all included in one bill for added convenience. Students transitioning from on-campus living find T Lofts an excellent option as it is within walking distance to campus and many other local attractions in North Fargo.

U32 Apartments  was built in 2017 and has 233 units. U32 is known as Fargo’s first amenity-rich, lifestyle-driven, all-inclusive living experience. Some of the sought after amenities include state-of-art fitness center, outdoor courtyard with basketball court, beach volleyball court, patio grill, and fire pit areas, indoor swimming pool and hot tub, sauna, racquetball court/yoga studio, community lounge, study rooms, underground parking and more. U32 is located at 1151 32nd Ave N in Fargo.

Jim Roers, CEO of Roers, is excited as he looks forward to the next development. “This is a wonderful opportunity for Roers to take this success and invest back in the community with future projects. We have excellent opportunities for additional projects near campus and throughout this community and we are already working behind the scenes to determine our next steps,” Roers commented.

Roers currently manages properties for outside owners as well as owns and leases various properties including apartment complexes, several townhomes and single-family homes throughout the Fargo-Moorhead and Dickinson communities.

They feature comfortable soft seating options or chair and table sets. You choose the space that fits you best based on your mood or the number of people you need to host. Beyond just a room with a tables and chairs, the welcoming decor will motivate and uplift your mood, bringing a smile to your face. The study rooms feature shiplap walls and wallpaper and fun irreverent artwork to make quiet time alone more comfortable, and group projects feel less like work and more like building pride in teamwork and accomplishment.

STUDY ROOMS SUMMARY:

  • Large Study Rooms located on 2nd and 3rd floors
  • Medium Study Room located on 4th floor
  • Small Study Room located on 2nd, 3rd and 4th

By: Christen Joy 

Today with the warmer weather in the air, I am excited to share some of our outdoor spaces at The View on University.  I know the Roers team is counting down the days till they can have residents and friends enjoy these awesome amenities.  

THE SPACES

Whether there’s the first sign of green grass poking through melted snow or the first snowflake in the air – The Three Seasons is where you’ll enjoy the outdoors from spring into late fall. With a cozy double-sided fireplace and several heaters to keep you warm, you’ll find seating options for just about every wish from gathering friends to quiet alone time. There’s no better place to cozy up with your morning coffee or to enjoy a sunset before heading to dinner. Stay in for any event and watch the indoor/outdoor TV with plenty of space to invite friends over.  

Head over to The Rooftop  – an area for unobstructed views with a clear glass railing system — and no roof. This is the spot to prep your delicious burgers and throw them on the grill. Your friends can sit, sip, and talk with you while you grill at the large island in the outdoor kitchen.  

You can enjoy the burgers at the bar top or grab another spot depending on whether you want views of what’s happening around campus or more comfy seating to chill. Either way – The View On University has it! In the mood for a game? Challenge friends to a game of bags — it’s just one of many to choose from.  

The Three Season and The Rooftop give you the space to live large! Expansive yet secluded with mature shade trees, singing birds and warm summer breezes make both the perfect spots for an afternoon nap or place to relax or catch some rays. These comfort retreats are sure to be another favorite that The View On University has in its amazing list of amenities to enjoy. 

THE ROOFTOP SUMMARY 

  • Located on the 5th floor adjacent to the Three Seasons room 
  • Grill 
  • Multiple table and chairs 
  • Gaming area/Bean bags 
  • Exceptional view 

THE THREE SEASONS SUMMARY

  • Located on the 5th Floor between The Clubhouse and The Rooftop  
  • Available spring through late fall

The View On University Apartments Clubhouse: Escape the Day to Day

By: Christen Joy

The View is in full construction mode, and I am here to give you a sneak peek into one of our first common spaces The Clubhouse.  

THE SPACE

You walk into The Clubhouse on the 5th floor and are greeted by impossible to ignore large windows that feel like a big city high rise. The spectacular views are hard to beat. After the stunning views you’ll notice your surroundings when your eye is drawn to pops of intentional colors balanced with walls shiplapped to high vaulted ceiling and gorgeous hardwood-inspired floors in a perfect shade to balance any color.

The Clubhouse features a kitchen area that is home to an oversized custom island lined with comfortable stools and a brass foot rail for relaxed comfort. A cook top and an oven are ready for cooking classes or hosting friends. The beverage fridge is the perfect size to store items as you prep. The space comes to life with larger-than-life artwork that’s full of personality, joy, and laughter.

As you gaze over, you’ll see ample seating with a bench over 20’ long layered in comfortable pillows with three large tables eager for you to join. Push the tables together for a large gathering or keep them separate for personalized groups. Either way – you have space to host any event you want. Plus, your guests won’t stop raving about the views, the vibe and the warmth in this space – it’s absolutely stunning framed in beautiful dark brass. Picture perfect!

Of course, you don’t need to entertain to enjoy this space. You can flop down on the large sectional or cozy swivels. The TV is there to watch and the double-sided fireplace is ready to be lit. The cherry on top in this space? I can’t decide if it’s the stair-stepped custom fireplace surround or the 48” chandelier!  

Be warned however, someone may challenge you to a game if you sit too close to the wall-mounted scrabble board. The 5-foot wide by 4-foot-tall board could have you itching to school your friends with your mad spelling bee skills. Not your thing? Head to the shuffleboard or ping pong table. You’re sure to find a way to connect with your community at The View On University.

THE CLUBHOUSE SUMMARY

  • Located on the 5th Floor adjacent to The Three Seasons
  • Open year-round
  • Fireplace
  • Pool table
  • Multiple areas to sit with groups or to relax alone

We hope you enjoyed seeing the look and feel of The Clubhouse and all it will offer for residents at The View On University. In my next post, we will be previewing the common spaces of The Rooftop.

Checking in on the Sheyenne Senior Housing Project

The Sheyenne Senior Housing project in West Fargo, ND, is making a great addition of needed senior housing in Cass County. We visited with both Dalton Olson, Roers Project Manager, and Derek Johnson, Deputy Director of Housing Authority of Cass County to get the latest scoop on how the project is coming along. The project is on track to open in June of 2021.

Here are some updates from Dalton:

Q – How many units per phase?

A – Two Buildings Monterey and Brighton Place. Monterey has 40 and Brighton has 45.

Q – What is a highlight so far on this project?

A – A highlight of working on this project has been seeing how exciting the owners and developers are when walking through the buildings, Each other week we have a walk through where they are expressing how excited they are to have this be their new home.

Q – What kind of amenities will a resident receive while living here?

A – Some amenities will be: heated ground level parking, two Community rooms, two elevators, wellness and exercise room.

Next, we met up with Derek to provide perspective from the Housing Authority of Cass County:

Q – Some of the common areas are the community room and the community entertainment room. How do you go about keeping the seniors safe (COVID-19) in those areas?

A – We are constantly monitoring a variety of local, state, and federal guidelines regarding COVID-19 and will make decisions about use of these common areas based on guidelines at that time. We have a number of gathering areas throughout the building that are well-ventilated and allow for social distancing.

Q – What will this project mean for housing for seniors?

A – For seniors living primarily on Social Security, the financial impact will be immense. Residents will pay 30% of their adjusted gross income in rent, and the remainder is subsidized by the Housing Authority through the Section 8 program.

Q – Can you talk about the partnership thus far with Roers and the Housing Authority of Cass County?

A – Roers has been great to work with through the process. The management team is responsive to our inquiries and provides great updates and communication to us regarding the progress.

The View On University – Step into the Design With Christen Joy

The Common Spaces with Christen Joy

I’m Christen Joy – interior designer of the living spaces and common areas at The View On University. It was an honor to work with the talented Roers team once again designing welcoming homes for residents where they can live and thrive for years to come. For those of you lucky enough to rent with Roers, you know the company builds comfortable housing with elevated design elements that reflect your lifestyle! Let’s step into the beautiful new “View” and I will give you a sneak peek of the common areas opening this coming year.

The North Star

To start, I like to create something I call my “North Star,” something to which everything aligns in the common areas. This helps focus how the spaces should feel, and which specific amenities they should include. In short – for people at The View On University to live their best lives, the spaces should be designed around how people live today.

These decisions start with lifestyle research and end with thoughtful design element selections. Research shows people who rent at residences, like The View On University, enjoy community and want a lifestyle anchored in connection, including spaces to engage with the people that surround them.

The Mood Boards

Residents will find comfortable boutique spaces that are light, inviting and spark happiness. Modern neutrals with simple and sculptural lines provide effortless style, while cohesive finishes create a sense of comfort. Pops of vibrant colors direct the eye to beautiful views. And no matter where you are in the space, it feels expansive and comfortable, inviting you to feel connected with family and friends and live your best life. All of this style layered in a look and feel that’s whimsical, comfortable, inviting, and my personal favorite — polite, never boring. In fact, I’d call it downright charming.

 

I can truly say The View On University has been a treat to design. With the Roers team supporting the creation of spaces truly perfect for their residents, it makes my job a joy, integrating selections that reflect the quality and craftsmanship of the team.

I hope you enjoyed learning about the look and feel of The View On University and I hope you are lucky enough to find yourself calling this place home! If you are, let me be the first to welcome you to the start of your best life! Cheers!

In upcoming posts we will be sharing about the common spaces such as The Club House, The Court Fitness, The Bark Club Pet Spa, and more! Come back and learn more.

Till Next Time,

Bremer Bank Remodel Focuses on Community

Bremer Bank on 45th Street in Fargo recently underwent a major makeover. Roers is proud to have completed the construction on this very modern looking customer focused financial institution. One of the main goals for this building was to not just modernize the facility but to implement new design concepts to help better serve the Fargo community. This new remodel includes three openings cut-in the second floor with a beautiful glass railing and a self-supporting staircase. allowing the building to look more modern and open.

We visited with both Josh Meyer, Vice President-Facilities Manager for Bremer and Tyler Miller, Roers Project Manager, to get some insights on this the goals of this project.

Keeping Customers Happy

Here’s some information from Josh from Bremer:

Q – With changes in banking over the years with online, etc. how will this remodel help connect you to customers and in-branch traffic?

A – Digital adoption continues to be a major force in financial services, which we are investing in. In addition to digital tools, we still view our physical locations as a key component in serving our customers and communities. This remodel created spaces for all different types of interactions and adds spaces we can offer to organizations in our community.

Q – What are some key highlights from Bremer’s standpoint during the construction phase?

A – The bank remained open to serve customers throughout the entire project, this was key as this location completes a high volume of transactions. We also opened large bays between the floors to connect visually and with a very prominent staircase at the center of the bank.

Partnership Formed Even During Covid

Next, Tyler from Roers talks about the project from the construction side. Even though the majority of the project took place during Covid, Bremer and Roers were able to stay on task.

Q – How did Covid change the project – timeline, floor plans, and other areas?

A – Covid did not have as huge of impact on this project as it may have affected other projects. With that being said, we still had some of our materials, (mainly our cabinetry) that had delays due to their plants getting hit with some cases of the virus. Overall, we were very thankful to keep the project on track with slight Covid related issues.

Q – Were there extra security precautions taken on this project due it being a financial institution?

A – Yes, extra security was taken. With the bank staying in operation, their security system was running throughout the project. If we were going to be working early/late we had to schedule that with Bremer to make sure they had their security system set to the correct setting. Bremer always had to be aware when us or any of our subcontractors were going to be on-site.

We invite you to check out the project in person at Bremer on 45th Street.  For more detail on this project and other Roers projects please visit our Project page online.
