Aksal Group Properties in Downtown Minot
Neighboring properties play a pivotal role in shaping success and a vibrant downtown.

Phase One: The Aksal Group projects began in 2017 with the purchase of Citizens Garage — downtown Minot’s original parking garage. Redevelopment on the block continued with the purchase of two buildings neighboring Citizens Garage. These buildings are now connected and function as a single building known as 1st & Central, which houses various local, small businesses.
Phase Two: The second phase of the Aksal Group’s redevelopment project began in 2024 and includes the Citizens Alley and the FreightHouse. This phase involves the construction of a year-round public plaza and outdoor gathering space, eventually in the front yard of newly redeveloped small business suites.
