What's in MNPRO?
MNPRO stands for Minnesota Commercial Properties and Community Profiles.
The site officially went online March 31, 1999 and contains Commercial
Properties - real estate or buildings that are or potentially could be used for
industrial, retail, resort, and office purposes and Community Profiles - informational
reports on a city's economic development, demographics, workforce, employers,
utilities, transportation, education, and business and community services.

How can I find properties
and profiles in MNPRO?
Users may carry out several searches of communities, counties, or the
state for available buildings, land, and community profiles. More detailed
and advanced searches require registering a User name and Password. These
detailed searches combine over 100 different search criteria including
the use, square footage, amenities, and selling price of a building or
the zoning, price and utilities available on a parcel of land or the community's
geographic region, higher educational facilities, and population.
What's the result of my
search?
Depending on search criteria, the available property(s) name, address,
size, space, and contact information appears. Under Get Report, a user
can view its community profile, details of the property, and if available,
an image. Users can also quickly retrieve frequently queried data using
a Custom Report to create and save personalized information on available
land and buildings.
Who can enter properties?

listing agents, owners, developers, and economic development professionals, etc.
