MINNEAPOLIS-When several major tenants vacated a large medical office building near Minneapolis in a short time frame about four years ago, the occupancy rate dropped to around a troublesome 50%.

One of the tenants, Twin Cities Orthopedics, left a major chunk of space in the 6363 France Medical building to move into its own, newly built complex a block or so away.

It was at about that time when the landlord, Minot, ND-based IRET Properties, hired Minneapolis-based Davis Group to provide leasing services for the building, located on the campus of 352-bed Fairview Southdale Hospital in the Minneapolis suburb of Edina.
