(Bloomington, MN) – Doran Companies, the Bloomington, Minnesota-based development, construction and design-build services company that recently expanded to the Denver, Colorado area, announced today that they have started construction on a 255-unit multi-family apartment project for Sherman Associates in the Denver suburb of Westminster.
Anne Behrendt, COO of Doran Companies said Doran has leased office space and has assembled a team to manage the company’s Denver operations.

Many of them design-build with our integrated design and construction teams, but all of them benefiting from Doran’s experience of developing, designing, building and managing our own projects.”
