Okemos-Based Development Company Expands Commercial Operation

Okemos-based builder and commercial leasing specialist, TMN Builders, has opened a new commercial division, called TMN Commercial.

"TMN has been working in the commercial building market for more than 25 years," says Jeff Shapiro, vice president of business development. "We felt it was important to put dedicated resources into the commercial building, leasing and management business."

TMN Builders will concentrate on the company’s residential market while TMN Commercial specifically focuses on the commercial side of the business.

"What started as a small component of our business has grown to the point where we need to make the two operations more independent," says TMN's president, Rudy Hirt. "The commercial side of TMN has become a significant entity and we need to provide the focus, the resources and the vision from management that will allow it to continue to grow and prosper."

TMN is close to completing a 12,000 square foot office building in East Lansing. The new building is the seventh building that’s part of the Watertower Place development.

Shapiro says all of the buildings are full. He expects this last building, which should be complete in December, to follow that trend.

“That is amazing in this market,” Shapiro says. “But we feel that the market requires this because everything else is occupied.”
