APX Construction Group

What APX Construction Group does

APX Construction Group is a regional commercial general contractor and design-build firm headquartered in Mankato, Minnesota, operating across Minnesota and South Dakota. Founded in 2014 by third-generation contractor Ryan Evenson and project manager Mitch Rohlfing, APX offers full-service commercial construction spanning pre-construction planning, design-build, general contracting, owner's representation, and post-construction facilities maintenance (under the APX Align sub-brand). The company's core technical focus is Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) construction complemented by integrated design-build workflows and drone-enabled site surveys. APX also owns and operates real estate developments — including the 60,000+ sq ft 1531 Madison Avenue Redevelopment and the Elevate 22 industrial campus — generating parallel leasing revenue. The company serves eleven horizontal commercial verticals including office/retail, industrial/warehouse, medical, hospitality, government/civil, education, multifamily housing, athletic facilities, community/nonprofit, historic preservation, and aviation hangars. Notable clients include Scooter's Coffee (multi-location franchise buildouts), Truck Center Companies (96,114 sq ft MBCEA Building of the Year 2024), Heyn Brothers Roofing, North Central International, and the nonprofit Bravo Zulu House veteran sober-living facility.

The business is monetized through project-based commercial construction contracts (quote-based, multi-year engagements) plus recurring managed-services revenue from APX Align facilities maintenance, supplemented by commercial leasing income on owned developments. Pricing is custom-quoted per project, with disclosed leasing rates around $10.50/SF NNN for retail and industrial space. APX employs 46 people across its Mankato HQ, a Mankato warehouse/distribution location, and a Sioux Falls regional office, and draws on a network of 2,000+ pre-qualified subcontractors to enable open-book competitive bidding. GTM combines direct enterprise field sales in both markets with community-relations-led demand generation, thought-leadership content (Build Blue Podcast and Blog), and active industry award pursuit. The company is founder-owned, privately held, with no disclosed external institutional capital.
