Local Plumbers and Gasfitters Union to Relocate to Eagan

April 08, 2025


MINNEAPOLIS – Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announces that it represented Blue Water III LLC in the sale of 3020 Denmark Ave. in Eagan, Minnesota. The 58,645-square-foot Class A office showroom was purchased by the Plumbers and Gasfitters Local 34 union. Transwestern’s Mike Honsa and John Thompson represented the seller in negotiations.

Plumbers and Gasfitters Local 34 is consolidating its operations and moving both its corporate office and training center to the building. It was previously located at 353 7th St. West in St. Paul.

“This proved to be a great opportunity for the Plumbers Union,” said Honsa. “The property listing came at just the right time and offered the perfect suburban location for the union. Not only did it allow the union to consolidate into one location, but it allowed Blue Water III LLC to take advantage of a strong sales market.”

According to Transwestern research, the Eagan area continues to attract steady investment, with building sales activity remaining strong. Since 2024, 14 office and flex sales transactions have occurred, accounting for nearly 20% of total suburban activity and nearly 30% of total suburban sales volume.

Blue Water III is centrally located in Eagan, with convenient access to several major highways and nearby retail amenities. The property was previously occupied by CHS, which had been in the building since its completion in 1998. Blue Water III LLC’s decision to sell came when the building became vacant for the first time.

The buyer was represented by Jordan Dick, Todd Hanson, and Jason Sell of Cushman and Wakefield.
