Real Estate Equities Architecture

What Real Estate Equities Architecture does

Real Estate Equities Architecture, LLC (d/b/a REE Architecture) is a full-service architecture firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota. The firm provides architectural design and construction administration services across the full project lifecycle — site planning, programming, conceptual and schematic design, code analysis, design development, construction documentation, bidding, and construction administration — for residential apartments, cooperatives, townhomes, hotels, and mixed-use commercial developments, with a dominant specialization in senior cooperative housing communities of 49–74 units.

The firm operates as a captive architecture services provider for its parent company, REE Development. REE Development develops senior cooperative communities under the Village Cooperative brand, and Real Estate Equities Architecture serves as the in-house design arm for these projects. The firm's core technology and capability is its integrated consultant network spanning mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, interior design, civil, and landscape architecture — delivered through a team of three named principals (Christopher Goring, Jeff Bredeson, Tim Knutsen) holding AIA, LEED AP, and NCARB certifications with 20–35 years of experience each in senior housing, multi-family, and healthcare design.

The business model is professional services fees charged on a project basis, with revenue generated almost exclusively through parent-company referrals from REE Development's Village Cooperative pipeline. The firm has delivered 37+ senior cooperative communities across 12+ U.S. states (Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Texas, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Minnesota) from 2016 through 2026, with active projects in pre-construction, under construction, and completed phases. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; client engagement is relationship-based, initiated via direct contact with Project Architect Chris Goring. The firm is a private LLC with 1–10 employees and no external institutional investment.
