FEATURE STORY
Tuesday, June 20 is the first “official” day of Summer! Although, it has felt like summer
the last few weeks in Minnesota, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you
of some “Summer Safety Tips” for your family and pets.
Adult & Children Safety Tips.
Drink plenty of fluids: Drink two to four glasses of cool fluids each hour.
Limit your intake of caffeinated or alcoholic beverages because they
dehydrate the body.
Keep cool indoors: If you can, stay in an air-conditioned area.
Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as
libraries, schools, movie theaters, shopping malls, etc.
Fans may provide comfort, but they will not prevent heat-related
illness. Taking a cool shower or bath will help could your bodies
temperature. If possible move to an air conditioned building.
Plan outdoor activities around the heat: If you must go outside, go before
noon or at night when it's cooler.
Avoid strenuous physical activities or reschedule them for the coolest part
of the day, usually the early morning.
Eat light meals, avoiding high-protein foods because they increase
metabolic heat.
Wear light-colored clothing, which helps reflect sunlight.
Wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn.
Never leave children or pets unattended in a car—not even for a few
minutes.
Get your A/C checked every year before the summer season begins.
Keep pets cool:
Never leave pets in a parked car. On a warm day, temperatures can rapidly
rise to dangerous levels. Even with the windows slightly open, the
temperature in a car on a 93-degree day can soar to 125 degrees in just 20
minutes and approximately 140 degrees in 40 minutes.
Shade and water are vital to pets. Pet owners must provide adequate
shelter protecting animals from injury, rain, sleet, snow, hail, direct sunlight,
and adverse effects of heat or cold. A dog house in the backyard with no
access to shade does not protect animals from sun.
Limit exercise on hot days. Take care to adjust intensity and duration of
exercise. Watch for shortness of breath and remember that asphalt gets
very hot and can burn paws; walk your dog on the grass if possible.

New environmental education resources New food waste prevention educational
materials available. Hennepin County along
with several other counties and cities in
the Twin Cities are currently supporting
the national Save the Food campaign to
raise awareness about the problem of food
waste. More than 40 percent of food is
wasted in the U.S., resulting in wasted
energy, fertilizer, cropland and money.
In addition to the resources available from
Save the Food, the county has developed the following
materials to help you educate others about reducing food
waste:
Environmental pamphlet order form reorganized Partners can order free printed copies of Hennepin County
flyers, brochures and booklets on a variety of environmental
topics through the environmental pamphlet order form. The
order form has recently been reorganized into simplified new
categories:
Top picks: A quick way to order some of our most
popular pieces.
Recycling and disposal: Information about our various
recycling and disposal programs, including the drop-off
facilities, recycling and organics recycling guides, battery
recycling, medicine drop boxes, and sharps disposal.
Living greener: Information about protecting the
environment by reducing waste, reducing hazardous
chemicals, composting, and protecting land and water. Translated materials: Our recycling guide, organics
recycling guide, how to get rid of it guide, remember the bags
window clings, and more are available in a variety of languages.

TENANT FEATURE This month we interviewed NorthMarq Capital. They have
been at Northland Center since early 1980’s and are located
on the 5th floor of the 3500 building. Please take a moment
to learn about what they do and how they have enjoyed their
time at Northland Center so far.
What does NorthMarq Capital (NMC) do?
NMC: NorthMarq Capital, the largest privately held
commercial real estate financial intermediary in the U.S.,
provides debt, equity and commercial loan servicing through
its 36 offices nationwide. The company has built long-term
relationships with life companies, CMBS platforms and local,
regional and national banks, with a long track record of
multifamily loan origination through Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae
and FHA/HUD. The company closes commercial real estate
loans on behalf of its customers totaling more than $12.5
billion annually and services a loan portfolio of more than
$50 billion.
NC: How long has NorthMarq Capital been in
business?
NMC: NorthMarq Capital started as Northland Mortgage
Company in St. Paul in1962. During our history, we’ve
acquired more than 10 different firms across the country,
with our most recent acquisition of Amerisphere Multifamily
Finance headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska.
NC: How many employees are located at
Northland Center?
NMC: In Northland Center, we have almost 200 employees
who are primarily loan servicing, corporate management and
administrative personnel. Across the country, we have an
additional 300 employees, bringing our national total to 500
employees.
NC: What made NorthMarq Capital locate to
Northland Center?
NMC: Our sister company is United Properties and at one
point, both firms were owned by the Hamm Family. (Both
are now owned by the Pohlad Companies.) When United
Properties developed this complex, we moved from St.
Paul in the early 80’s to support the occupancy of the new
project.
NC: What types of community involvement
does NorthMarq Capital do/have?
NMC: We support many non-profit organizations, but
focus much of our financial commitments for support of
affordable housing initiatives. We support both Aeon and
CommonBond Communities in the Twin Cities and
support Open Doors, a non-profit arm of the Mortgage
Banking Association. Our employees also organize local
fundraising efforts each month, with the May fundraiser
dedicated to the Animal Humane Society.
In addition, we partner with other Pohlad Companies
annually for a week-long giving event benefitting five local
non-profits: Community Health Charities, Community
Shares of Minnesota, Greater Twin Cities United Way and
Minnesota Environmental Fund. As part of that event, we
celebrate Pohlad Polka Dot Day on August 23, which was
Carl Pohlad’s birthday and recognizes his love for polka
dots and giving back to the community. The company
donates $10 dollars to the Federated Funds for each
employee who wears Polka Dots that day.
NC: Any other interesting facts or information
would you like to share about your company?
NMC: Since the Pohlad Companies own us, we named all
of our conference rooms to honor retired Minnesota
Twins players – including Harmon Killebrew, Kirby Puckett
and Tony Oliva.
