Private Real Estate, Operated by Owners
Join a 21-year Minneapolis–Saint Paul platform that buys, builds, leases and manages suburban office, flex and industrial buildings under one integrated roof.
Brand overview
Commercial Investors Group was founded in 2005 in Bloomington, Minnesota and has spent two decades building a privately held portfolio of approximately 30 buildings totaling about 1 million square feet across one metro market. With roughly $100 million in assets under management, the company keeps every critical function in-house: its own crews, brokers and property managers work side by side rather than through outside vendors. CEO Mike Sowers has personally underwritten and structured the capital for every asset and has more than $8.6 million of his own money invested alongside partners. The result is a single integrated platform designed to serve property owners, tenants and accredited investors without the gaps that typically appear between separate service providers. The company acquires under-leased buildings, operates them to full occupancy, and creates value for stakeholders at every stage of the real estate lifecycle.

Why choose Commercial Investors Group
Commercial Investors Group stands apart by keeping acquisition, leasing, construction and management under one roof rather than spreading them across disconnected third parties. That vertical integration means faster decisions, tighter cost control and a unified experience for owners, tenants and investors. The company focuses on a single metro market it knows intimately, which allows for disciplined underwriting and hands-on oversight of every property. Leadership aligns incentives by investing personal capital in the same assets offered to partners, so stakeholders are working alongside an operator with real skin in the game. Since 2020 the platform has grown from one unit to six, reflecting steady demand for a private real estate model built on ownership rather than middleman services.
