Describe your role:

  • I communicate with our team internally, and with prospective clients, externally! I manage the marketing for both of our companies, and the human resources function for our entire team, actively engaged in the leadership of our two sister companies.

What is your earliest memory of selling, designing or building something?

  • When I was in middle school, I partnered with a friend and designed a holiday craft class for the little kids in my neighborhood to attend over Christmas break. I created flyers to “sell” the class, and conducted classes for the kids while their parents went shopping or prepared for the holiday season. We packed every class for a couple of weekends, earned some spending money, and helped the families in our neighborhood. My friend and I felt quite accomplished and as a result, had consistent babysitting jobs for many years to follow.
What inspires and/or motivates you in what you do for APPRO and CERRON?
  • I have an opportunity to be creative & to constantly learn more about property solutions from the amazing team I work with, while I share the story of our great companies.
What do you do outside of the office for fun?
  • Spend time with my family, volunteering, taking painting classes, baking, traveling & creating books about our adventures

What is your favorite quote?

  • You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt

Where is one place you have not been, but would really like to go?
 
  • England, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain – these are a few places, among many, I would like to visit to learn more about the history and architecture.

    I have had the honor and pleasure to compile the stories of my co-workers, and now it has become my turn. I initially started with APPRO and CERRON in 2008, as an administrative assistant, returning to work after spending a few years assisting my husband with his residential real estate business and raising our young family. After a couple of years on the team, I left to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership, and humbly share that I graduated with honors. Upon completion of my education, I was offered my dream job and returned to APPRO and CERRON as their “Marketing guru”. I have a diverse background with education and experience including: interior design, title closing, residential real estate, and human resources. I love people, love creativity, and love the opportunity to share my talents with our team and the clients we serve. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love!

Describe your role with CERRON in ten words or less (note, she did it in five!)

  • I am Bruce’s “Right Hand”

What inspires you in what you do with CERRON?

  • I love being involved in the entire sale/lease process for CERRON – whether it’s assisting  a client (behind the scenes) in searching for a property to lease or buy, or helping our team market a client’s property. It’s fun to be a part of the process, from start to finish!
What do you do outside of the office for fun?

  • My family and I enjoy spending our time together outdoors: hiking, downhill skiing, biking and camping. Camping is our “thing.” We have camped in Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park (my favorite!), Niagara Falls, and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

What is something people might be surprised to know about you?

  • I have completed the Northshore Inline Marathon four times.
What is your favorite quote?
  • “Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” – Mother Teresa

Where is the best compliment you have ever received?

  • When someone says how “awesome” my kids are.

Kris joined our team in July, 2013, and has been helping the entire CERRON team ever since. Her education and background is in marketing and business.  As a tenant, landlord, real estate investor, owner, broker, appraiser, or title closer, you will have the opportunity to see Kris’s work in the marketing initiatives she implements, the agreements she drafts, and a variety of other ways she seemlessly creates solutions for each of our clients. We are thrilled to have Kris as a member of our real estate services team and appreciate her drive and determination to help make CERRON the best commercial and industrial real estate services team in the Midwest!

Please describe your role with CERRON in ten words or less.

  • Helping business owners to buy, sell or lease commercial property.

 

What inspires and/or motivates you in what you do with APPRO and CERRON?

 

  • Seeing our clients grow and do well. It is also a lot of fun to learn what companies do and the niches these owners find to fill and create new businesses.

What is something people might be surprised to know about you?

  • I haven’t always sold commercial real estate. “In my former life,” I worked for various companies including Purina and AgriPro in Sales, Marketing, and Management roles taking me to St. Louis, Missouri and the Phillipines, before returning to Minnesota.

Bruce Rydeen is hard working and combines his strong work ethic, expertise, and team building skills as an effective leader and mentor for our staff. Bruce brings great insight to our team meetings, and goes to great lengths to bring deals together, always looking for ways to make the sometimes “improbable” or even “impossible” come together. Outside of our walls, Bruce has had significant involvement in our local community including a past role as Chair at the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce. 

As a business owner or investor, you will meet Bruce when you need assistance purchasing or leasing a new property. As a property owner,  you will work with Bruce to lease space in your building, or to sell your building to a new owner/user or investor(s). You may also connect with Bruce at local community events, as Bruce is an active Chamber of Commerce member in many of the communities we serve: Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Dakota County (including the cities of Eagan, Farmington, Lilydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, Rosemount, Sunfish Lake, and West St. Paul, along with Castle Rock, Empire, Eureka, and Hampton Townships), and Elko New Market, Minnesota.

Bruce enjoys following and attending car racing events, spending time working on his family farm in Stillwater, and if you ask him about his grand kids, just watch his face light up! I think you might be hard pressed to find a prouder grandparent (although other grandparents in our office may disagree, ha!). He is quick to share the latest pics, videos, or anecdotes. Bruce is a valued member of our APPRO and CERRON property solutions team.

Drones in Commercial Real Estate and Industrial Construction

Drones in Commercial Real Estate and Industrial Construction 

Drones in Commercial  Real Estate and Industrial Construction? They’re talked about everywhere and their benefits are sometimes far reaching or yet to be tested (I am curious to see how a drone can deliver a package during a MN snowstorm without plummeting to its death due to the added weight of the snow). Naturally, the popularity of drones made us ask; how can drones benefit those of us in the commercial real estate or industrial construction fields? 

(Click on photo at left for more information about this Warehouse Addition and to see more aerial photography taken by a drone.)

 

We (at APPRO Development and CERRON Commercial Properties) decided there could be some benefit to utilize drones, so we embarked on a mission to learn more. Upon doing some research, we learned it’s important to find someone who is:

  • Qualified to operate a drone, especially in metropolitan areas or near airports
  • Knowledgeable of regulatory laws and keeps current with the changes
  • Carries insurance for the operation of their drone
  • Educated in photography and has the needed equipment to provide high quality photos

 

After finding a “pilot” whose skills we were confident in, we were able to utilize drones in numerous ways over the past year to:

  • Capture stunning images of buildings post-construction as part of construction photos file.
  • Obtain unique perspectives on commercial buildings and office suites for marketing purposes.
  • Investigate issues with joints, roofs, HVAC and other systems that normally require rooftop access, a bucket lift or a REALLY tall ladder.

 Why use drones???

The benefits in utilizing a drone allowed a significant cost savings over other methods, such as aerial photography completed by a pilot and a photographer. In fact, we may have just done without the wonderful photos had it not been for the savings using a drone.  In addition to our company having a drone pilot that we hire for imaging, some of our subcontractors also have access to a pilot to provide insightful feedback on existing building conditions.

Structural engineers have learned to utilize drones for inspecting hard to reach places, such as under bridges or high in the air to view windmill or cell towers, smoke stacks and other tall buildings. Interestingly, drones are also being used to assist in mapping of rail lines.

While there is much debate surrounding the use of drones, some practical applications, which are non-obtrusive to the general public, are indeed beneficial to the Commercial Real Estate and Industrial Construction industry.

 

 

 

 

If you have an existing property you would like to market for sale or lease, or have a commercial building in need of repair or expanding, please contact our team to assist you. Perhaps we may incorporate the use of drones into your next project!

 A drone was used to view the roof and parking lot of the APPRO Development and CERRON Commercial Properties building. The aerial perspective helped determine maintenance needs and cosmetic improvements to enhance the aesthetics of the property.
