Last week, our Sales Department HUDDLED UP to develop their leasing strategies and skills! With the help of Cadence Marketing Solutions, we explored different scenarios that can come up when you're trying to lease an apartment. It's all about supporting each other with our own experiences, because we're all on the same team. Thank you to everyone who participated, we can't wait for the next Huddle!
Yesterday marked an exciting milestone for Bigos Management as we officially closed on Mill District City Club Apartments. Even more exciting? This community is being reintroduced under a brand-new name: The Ellory. The Ellory represents more than a name change. It signals a bold transformation. We have comprehensive renovation plans in place for both apartment homes and amenity spaces, bringing fresh finishes, modern design, and elevated community areas to one of Minneapolis’ most dynamic neighborhoods. Follow along as The Ellory takes shape. Visit our website to track renovation updates, explore the evolving brand, and watch this exciting new chapter unfold. https://go.theellorympls.com/gd
On Friday, we hosted the Great Bigos Get Together at our corporate office in Golden Valley! We welcomed all our employees to come together for great food, fun activities, and employee recognition. We know we wouldn't be a Star Tribune Top Workplace without our incredible employees, and this is our way of saying thank you. It's always fun to see relationships thrive across properties and occupations. Thanks, everyone, for coming! 💛
It's back to school time, which means the Bigos Gives Back committee has been collecting donations from all of our properties to donate to kids in need! We spent Wednesday morning stuffing backpacks with all the essentials: pencils, crayons, folders, markers, and more. Thank you to all of our amazing residents who donated, we couldn't have done this without you! 🎒
On Wednesday, we hosted the last Bigos Bus Tour of the summer! We are so thankful for this opportunity to connect across the Bigos portfolio, making connections between corporate and on-site members alike. We also continued to recognize our top leasers at each property, highlighting their amazing work ethic and contributions. As we DRIVE through the rest of this year, we will continue to remember the relationships we developed on this summer's Bus Tours! 🚌
Last week, we had our second Bigos Bus Tour of the summer! We got to visit five of our communities in the North Metro, learning about their properties, teams, and the unique features that make each community special. We love taking the opportunity to connect across our portfolio to gain knowledge, to foster relationships, and to continue to feed the culture that makes Bigos Management a Star Tribune Top Workplace. 🚌
Bigos Management is a 2025 Real Estate Star Tribune Top Workplaces winner! Bigos is one of 53 organizations to be recognized with this achievement, which makes us part of an elite group of industry leaders. We are so proud of our fantastic employees who strive for this excellence in the work they do every single day. We wouldn't be here without you!
Every summer at Bigos Management, we host Bus Tours to familiarize our corporate and on-site staff with our portfolio. We spend the day visiting five properties, meeting their staff, learning about their communities, and appreciating the unique individualities that set each community apart! This year, we also took time to recognize and congratulate our top leasers at each property. Great job, we had so much fun on our first tour of the summer! 🚌
We’re proud to be recognized for our culture of excellence! Bigos has been honored with awards for Values & Purpose and Work-Life Flexibility - a testament to the meaningful work we do and the balance we strive to create for our teams. These wins reflect who we are: mission-driven, people-first, and committed to making a difference every day.
We're committed to bettering our community, which is why the Bigos Gives Back committee spent the afternoon building bikes! We partnered with Trailhead Cycling to donate new and lightly used bikes to communities who need them. With bikes for kids and adults alike, we're giving those in need the opportunity for personal transportation, or some much-needed fun and exercise this summer. Thank you Trailhead Cycling for helping us! 🚲
