 Company Description

Torgerson Properties, Inc. (TPI) develops, builds and manages hotels and restaurants throughout greater Minnesota and Florida. With a concentration of locations in the Minneapolis – St. Paul metropolitan area, TPI aligns with nationally recognized hotel and restaurant franchise companies. By developing hotels and restaurants in close proximity to each other, a campus of TPI hospitality businesses can meet the diverse needs of most travelers in a single location. TPI campus properties also allow for synergy and efficiency between hotel teams and resources, creating dynamic working relationships and opportunities for career advancement.

One of the most unique characteristics of Torgerson Properties is the tenure of its associates. From executive leadership to line level hotel staff, the years of service and loyalty to the company are unprecedented in the hospitality industry. With a focus and emphasis on developing our associates, this tenure allows a greater degree of stability, results oriented growth and enhanced community presence within our properties that sets us apart from our competition.

Combined with a specialized group of above property leaders in key areas such as hotel and restaurant operations, sales, marketing and revenue management and associate training and development, Torgerson Properties combines raw talent and enthusiasm with dedicated support and resources to produce industry leading results. Experienced in diverse settings and markets, TPI brings to the table knowledge of select service, extended stay and full service hotel management in primary, secondary and tertiary markets. From the food and beverage side of the business, TPI excels in stand alone restaurant concepts, co-branded complexes as well as catering and banquet operations.

 Why People Like to Work for Us

Our most important asset is our associates. Whether you work in one of our hotels or restaurants, the hospitality business is based on hard working, caring and friendly associates taking care of our guests.

TPI invests in our associates with hands on training, the tools you need to do your job well and the opportunity to grow within the company.

One of the aspects that make Torgerson Properties unusual is the tenure of associates. In an industry where high turnover is more typical than not, TPI stands out due to the long term associates at all of our locations. You can read more about our great teams and the outrageous service they provide our guests in our biannual newsletter, “Innside Torgerson Properties” at www.torgersonproperties.com.

Our management philosophy is that a well organized, motivated and enthusiastic management team, having accountability built into its system, will excel if it has the physical tools to work with and possesses the innate skills necessary to conduct their work. Our success is based on our associates’ success.

We believe in five essential traits:
  • Organization - defined, focused, encompassing
  • Motivation - energetic, positive, aggressive, with fair compensation and treatment
  • Accountability - performance measurements, standards upheld always
  • Physical tools - viable market, operating supplies, facility
  • Innate skills - personality, organization, communication, vision, observant, sensitive, fair, knowledge and skills

A system which is not “briskly” driving toward incorporating these five essential traits will still exist, but without reaching its full potential, which is considered unacceptable by TPI standards.

If these traits describe you, we want to talk with you about how you can enhance your career with Torgerson Properties.
