Rochester, Minnesota

Exceptional ownership through exceptional service.

Slingshot owns and operates commercial, workspace, residential, and hospitality real estate in Rochester. We’re not absentee owners — we answer the phone, know our tenants, and take care of our buildings.

Our philosophy

Many landlords chase passive income. We believe ownership is active.

Great real estate still comes down to fundamentals — knowing your tenants, maintaining your buildings, communicating clearly, and responding quickly. We stay involved long after closing. Technology helps us do that; it doesn’t replace it.

How we work

Buy well, improve with purpose, and stay involved.

We look for sound properties with unrealized potential, make practical improvements, and stay involved after the work is complete.

01

Acquire

Buy at a basis that leaves room to improve.

02

Improve

Invest where the building and tenant experience will benefit.

03

Operate

Handle leasing, service, and day-to-day decisions directly.

04

Hold

Make decisions for long-term performance, not a quick exit.

The experience

Run more like hospitality.

Whether you lease an office, live in one of our homes, stay in a short-term rental, or work with us on management, you get the same responsiveness and care.

Being present is the difference. We answer quickly, follow through, and treat the people in our buildings like guests worth keeping.
