Tim McShane is a Fargo native and Principal of McShane Development, a Minneapolis-based development firm with more than 35 years of experience. With a long history in large-scale commercial development, Tim understands the importance of data, timing, and local expertise when entering a market.

When McShane Development got involved in the planning of a major land project in Fargo, selecting the right brokerage partner was a critical first step.

As Tim shared,
“I’m a Fargo native and I’ve been in the development business for 35 years.”

McShane Development is working on a 58-acre development called the “Crossroads” located at the southwest corner of Interstate 29 and Interstate 94, one of the most visible and strategic intersections in the region.

To support the success of this project, McShane Development selected Goldmark Commercial Real Estate as its brokerage team.

“We selected Goldmark Commercial to be our brokerage team on that project, and that’s how I got associated with them,” Tim said.

With many strong brokerage firms in the Fargo-Moorhead market, Goldmark Commercial stood out for two key reasons.

Goldmark Commercial’s in-depth market data, combined with real-time insights into leasing, development, and transaction trends, gave McShane Development the confidence to move forward strategically.

Beyond analytics, Goldmark Commercial’s local presence played a major role in the decision.

“Everybody knows Goldmark Commercial,” Tim said.
“That’s a big benefit to us because with their analytics and their presence, they’re going to see all the deals in the marketplace.”

For a large-scale development, visibility into market activity and access to opportunities is essential. Goldmark Commercial’s position as a market leader ensures their clients stay ahead of trends and competitive activity.

Tim emphasized Goldmark Commercial’s ability to execute with precision and professionalism.

“They’ve got everything you need to make transactions punctual, accurate, and efficient,” he said.
“They’re very attentive, and they really know what they’re doing.”

Goldmark Commercial’s combination of data-driven strategy, local knowledge, and responsive service has made them a valuable partner throughout the development process.

For McShane Development, selecting Goldmark Commercial meant gaining a brokerage partner with unmatched market analytics, strong local presence, and the experience needed to support large-scale commercial projects.

As Tim summarized,
“I would definitely recommend Goldmark Commercial to service your real estate needs.”
