When people hear the name Benson-Orth General Contractors, their minds often jump to multifamily developments—and for good reason. The company has a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality residential projects across the Midwest. But what many don’t realize is that Benson-Orth has also made a powerful mark on the industrial side of construction, with over 10 million square feet of industrial work completed to date.
Unlike multifamily developments, which are often vertical in nature and focused on residential living, industrial projects demand a different kind of scale and expertise. It’s not just about buildings—it’s about building entire ecosystems.
In cities like Anoka, Brooklyn Park, New Hope, and Champlin, Benson-Orth has played a critical role in shaping full industrial parks from the ground up. Their work doesn’t stop at laying foundations—they’re involved in every aspect of the development process. This includes planning and constructing infrastructure such as roads, stormwater ponds, utilities, and sewage systems. In some areas, they’ve even helped design the overall layout of the park, creating build-ready pads that attract business and stimulate local economies.
Take Anoka, for example. There, Benson-Orth didn’t just put up buildings—they created an entire industrial hub. From excavation to roadways, to water and sewer systems, they laid the groundwork—literally and figuratively—for sustainable growth. It’s this ability to see the big picture and execute it at scale that sets Benson-Orth apart in the industrial sector.
While multifamily housing requires close collaboration with architects, city planners, and future residents, industrial construction leans heavily on logistics, infrastructure, and long-term durability. It’s a different rhythm—one that Benson-Orth understands well. Their ability to pivot between these two worlds showcases not only their versatility but also their deep understanding of what it takes to make complex projects a success.
As Benson-Orth continues to grow, they remain committed to expanding their industrial footprint while maintaining the same integrity and attention to detail they’ve become known for in multifamily construction. Whether it’s a 250-unit apartment complex or a 250-acre industrial park, Benson-Orth builds with the future in mind—strong, smart, and ready for what’s next.
