With nearly six decades of experience, the company has developed and managed thousands of single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and apartment residences, consistently creating innovative solutions to meet evolving market challenges. In addition to development, Bader is one of the largest and most reliable property management companies in the Twin Cities, managing a diverse portfolio that includes apartments, townhomes, senior living, and student housing.

Bader collaborates closely with neighborhood, regulatory, and municipal officials to ensure projects meet community needs and standards. By applying deep market knowledge, the company establishes the right blend of amenities, finishes, and programming to maximize value and exceed residents' expectations.

This consolidation reflects the company's commitment to innovation and growth in the real estate sector. The rebrand includes a new logo and cohesive identity, while maintaining the reliable reputation and rich history built in the multifamily housing industry since its inception in 1964. The company's founder, Sid Bader, was recognized with the Gary Holmes Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020 for his seven decades of work in the real estate industry, highlighting the company's longstanding impact and leadership in the field. Bader's portfolio includes notable projects such as the Waterbury House, West Lake Quarter, Tyler Street Stacks, and The Ansel in Minneapolis, MN.
