We are proud of the service we provide to our residents every day. To show our appreciation to our site team members who work hard to provide such service, we hosted the first-ever Bigos Beacon Awards yesterday! We recognized 14 of our properties who demonstrated excellence in their performance on-site. To celebrate, we had a great afternoon playing games and mini-golf at Can Can Wonderland! Congratulations, and thank you for your hard work!
Practice makes perfect, which is why we host Leasing Training Events throughout the year. In these trainings, we work on sharpening our sales tools and workshop ways we can improve our prospect experience. Not to mention, we foster great connections with leasing professionals from other properties across our portfolio. Thank you to our amazing teams for working hard, providing valuable perspectives, and participating in our winter training event! ⭐
On Wednesday, we got to celebrate the Grand Opening of The Mera! This project was so full of passion and creativity. We are so proud to have such a beautiful property as part of our portfolio! Thank you to all of the team members and city council members who were able to join us as we cut the ribbon to officially welcome The Mera to the St. Louis Park community! Thank you to ESG Architecture & Design and Big-D Construction for helping us sponsor this event!
Every year we celebrate our 'Bigos Brightest' at our Leadership Conference. These company leaders are stewards for their teams and the organization, embody our core values, and strive to meet and exceed professional and personal goals. Congratulations to Summer, Shauna, Matt, and Gary! Thank you for your visible leadership.
Our annual Bigos Leadership Conference is one of our favorite events of the year! Developing our employees into great leaders is something we take very seriously—we want to give our employees all the necessary tools for success. Our theme this year, Building by Design, focused on the growth of our company over the past year, and what kind of personal growth comes with it. As our portfolio continues to grow and expand, we want our employees skills to grow and expand as well. Thank you to everyone who attended, and thank you to our keynote speaker, Margi Simmons with Brave New Workshop! https://bravenewworkshop.org/
We had an AMAZING time at MADACS last Friday! We want to congratulate all of our nominees—you deserve this recognition for all of your hard work. We also want to congratulate our two MADACS winners, Jennifer Krulc (Portfolio Manager) and Paul Palmgren (Portfolio Maintenance Manager)! We thank you for everything you do for Bigos, our employees, and our residents. Bigos Management wouldn't be the same without you. Congratulations! 🌟
Wednesday was the Great Bigos Get Together! Every year, we host an all-employee lunch with yummy food, games, and booths from each of our Bigos Committees. We love this event because it (literally) brings everyone together to foster the relationships that set Bigos apart. Thank you for all coming out to enjoy the weather, to celebrate the work that we do, and to have some fun. We already can't wait for next year! ☀️
Today we had our last Bus Tour of the summer! We had a blast checking out our properties around Saint Paul, including our brand-new build, Lilia! Thank you to our amazing site teams for hosting us, we love seeing your smiling faces and learning more about your properties. See you next summer! ☀️
On Wednesday, we took our second Bus Tour of the summer to our St. Louis Park properties, including our brand-new build, The Mera. We had so much fun with our site teams, thank you for hosting us at your properties! We can't wait for the next tour next week! 🌷
Earlier this week, we kicked off the 2024 Bigos Bus Tours with a bang! We toured five of our Minneapolis properties: Mallard Creek, The Palmer, Expo, The Whit, and Central Park West. The best part about the Bus Tours is the connections we foster. We encourage both site team members and corporate team members to attend in order to make those vital face-to-face connections with the property teams we visit. Thanks to all who attended and to our properties we visited, we can't wait for the next tour!
