Rochester, MN – Rochester Development, Inc. and Oakwood Worldwide have named Joseph Crick as the inaugural general manager to oversee all property operations at Oakwood Broadway Plaza, Rochester’s tallest landmark building. 

Joseph Crick joined Oakwood Apartment Management in 2002 as a Leasing Manager for Oakwood Falls Church, a massive 576-unit community with both furnished and unfurnished apartments.  With his world-class customer service skills, Crick was quickly promoted and transferred to Oakwood San Jose, a 789-unit property in California's "Silicon Valley."

Prior to joining Oakwood, Crick had extensive hospitality experience with large hotel chains.  He received his Bachelors of Science in Hotel Management at Florida International University. 

“Joe demands the best of himself in everything, and he displays a high commitment to customer service excellence,” says Dave Brackett, vice president of Oakwood Apartment Management.

The 146 fully-appointed residences are ideally situated in downtown Rochester next to the internationally renowned Mayo Clinic.  The residences are perfect for visiting patients and doctors, as well as corporate travelers or local residents who desire luxury furnished apartment accommodations.

Oakwood Broadway Plaza’s many first-class amenities include: a suite of designer furniture in every residence; luxury linens; fully equipped gourmet kitchen with deluxe dinnerware; a state-of-the-art fitness center with indoor swimming pool, spa, and cold plunge; and spectacular panoramic views from every apartment.  The property will also have restaurants, retail space and Skyway access to the Mayo Clinic and all of downtown Rochester.

“My goal for Oakwood Broadway Plaza is to put together an outstanding, customer service oriented team,” said Crick.

Oakwood Broadway Plaza will have its highly anticipated Grand Opening this summer.
