We are eager to welcome Neon Flats to the Collective family, further expanding our presence in Minneapolis, which is currently anchored by ElseWarehouse in the North Loop.

This highly desirable location offers close proximity to downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota.

Residents also benefit from convenient access to public transit, with nearby bus routes and light rail connections providing easy access to downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota, surrounding neighborhoods, and beyond.


Life, Elevated

While the location sets Neon Flats apart, the quality and care put into the community elevate the experience even further. 

Thoughtful design, modern finishes, and resident-focused amenities come together to create a place that feels both comfortable and intentional. Neon Flats is also a pet friendly community, welcoming residents and their dogs and cats.

Neon Flats has 30 individual apartments, offering 1, 2, and 3 bedroom floor plans. Access to dedicated off street parking is available via an enclosed skyway. The building also features controlled access for resident security and peace of mind.

Inside, each apartment at Neon Flats offers modern finishes. Apartments feature granite countertops, modern appliances, and large, oversized windows that bring in abundant natural light. Each space is designed to feel comfortable, functional, and contemporary.


A Great Addition


"Neon Flats is a great addition to our portfolio and a natural fit for Collective," said Scott Houle, President of Collective. "Neon Flats' connection to the neighborhood matches how we intentionally craft places people are proud to call home. We are excited to welcome Neon Flats into the Collective family."

We look forward to serving residents at Neon Flats and continuing to grow our presence in Minneapolis with communities that are well located, thoughtfully designed, and deeply connected to their neighborhoods.

Collective Takes on Maintenance Mania 2026

Cowbells. A derby car track. Smoke detectors beeping from every direction. Welcome to Maintenance Mania.

Meet Jade Wahl: Jade of All Trades

May 7, 2026
Jade Wahl loves the kind of environment where most people would probably feel overwhelmed. “I thrive in chaos,” Jade said. “Every day brings something new.” Her career in property management started about eight years ago in Bismarck as a leasing agent before being promoted into a property manager role where she oversaw properties and the people who keep them running. Through connections from a previous job, she was introduced to Collective and shifted her focus to a different side of property management: Learning and Development Specialist. It was natural given her experience in supporting team members. "I love the relationships I get to create with each of our team members."

April 28, 2026
Tori Madilia grew up nearly 2,000 miles from Billings, but the path that brought her to Farmstead is less random than it might seem. After making the move to the Treasure State to be closer to her boyfriend, Tori got a career nudge from someone who knew her well. Her best friend back home happened to be a community manager and had a feeling she might enjoy property management. He encouraged her to give it a try. “My best friend back home thought I’d do well at it,” Tori said. “He was right. I knew from the get-go I’d be a good fit here.”

Giving Dakota Park a Refresh for Residents

By - - • April 17, 2026
Dakota Park isn’t new to Fargo. With a few thoughtful, resident-focused updates, it’s getting even better. The community first opened in 1996 and is noteworthy as one of the largest communities in Fargo, one of the first to feature underground parking, and one of the first to have an indoor pool. It’s no surprise that many residents have chosen to call Dakota Park for decades. It truly does have everything you need. It’s been a few months since we welcomed Dakota Park into the Collective portfolio, and it’s quickly become a favorite among our team. In that time, they’ve come up with some great ideas to make it even better.
