When the Maple Valley Shops team set out to design these new shop condos in Fargo, their vision was to create an experience that was so much more than personal storage. Their goal was to offer state-of-the-art spaces, packed with features, dynamically designed, and built on quality.
To bring these epic shop condos to life, CORE Property Group teamed up with Jeff McKay, who has worked on several shop condo projects across Fargo in recent years. Through his several years of experience in developing these various projects, McKay built a strong framework of what goes into creating a successful and unique space, using that strategy to help develop Maple Valley through thoughtful design and unmatched quality.
“Throughout all the projects I’ve been involved in and the time using shop spaces, we developed a strategy on what would be the ultimate shop condo for people at an affordable price,” he said.
Built with quality in mind
The quality speaks for itself when you walk into the units. The CORE team wanted to go the extra mile by doing steel frame construction versus wood frame and deep frost footings versus concrete slabs. “We wanted to differentiate ourselves with higher-end offerings—it’s important to us to help protect people’s real estate values as time moves forward,” McKay said.
In addition to an impressive list of features, from 14-foot overhead doors to a second-level loft, the location is one of the main unique features that make the Maple Valley shop condos stand out. “With the close proximity of Rose Creek, Timberline, and the Davies community, we’re right in the middle of a prime residential market—there’s a need for these units in this area,” the CORE team said. “As you come by and look at them, you’ll see right away that these are definitely a different type of unit compared to other shops around town.”
Even the curb appeal of Maple Valley shows how uniquely designed they are and the value they bring to the area. The CORE team worked closely with their design team, resulting in shop condos that are both functional and beautiful.
Built for pleasure – not for business
Another unique aspect of Valley Maple is the conditional overlay on the site, which restricts the units from being used for business. Owning one of these units means enjoying a property that’s quiet, peaceful, clean, and secure.
“A lot of people are buying these for storing personal belongings, so they want a property and space to be really pristine—so these units and lot offer a higher level of quality in that regard,” Horst said.
Meet the faces that brought this project to life
“The concept for the Maple Valley shop condos came from similar past projects we’ve been involved in, which have been successful here in Fargo,” President Jeremy Horst said. “We wanted to create something unique for this part of Fargo, and people have been liking these types of units for everything from storing big toys to creating fun hangout spots.”
Safe & Secure
With the proximity to residential neighborhoods and exterior LED lighting, this location provides a very safe and secure environment.

“Sky’s the limit” for space usage
As you walk through these shop condos, you’ll see what current owners have done, illustrating how dynamic the spaces are and how the sky is truly the limit. Each unit is gas-heated and has a ceiling fan to help create the optimal climate for whatever you create your space to be.
“We’ve seen all kinds of different concepts in these units, from simulators and personal hangouts to creating these spaces as extensions of the home,” Horst said. “During the winter, if outdoor conditions aren’t good, these units are a great opportunity for kids to get out of the house and put their roller blades on or bike around and enjoy the space.”
Owners have created different types of fun spaces by adding things like multi sports simulators, trampolines, hockey areas, bar areas, kitchenettes and more!
If you’re looking for something more low-key, the units also offer the perfect space to work on your project cars. The 18-foot walls, floor drains, and epoxy concrete flooring are perfect for storing and working on vehicles during any season.
