Orton Companies builds private auto storage and car condominiums in Otsego. Tall doors, clean spans, and a finished room for the cars — not a leftover shed.
Otsego collectors usually outgrew the garage years ago. We design the bays around the cars you have and the ones you will buy: door height, turning, security, and a winter envelope that keeps the collection dry. Multi-bay buildings for clubs and private warehouses for a single owner are the same craft — one crew from the drawing to the last door.

Otsego sits between our Big Lake yard and the northwest metro — close enough that we treat it like a home market. The city has added a lot of housing; the people calling us still have land, a business, or a collection that will not fit in a two-car garage.
The useful question in Otsego is not “can you build a pole barn” — it is whether the parcel is leftover acreage or a newer lot with city and association rules. We settle that on the first visit so the design is legal and the bid is sound.
Collector storage is a natural Otsego ask — tall doors, clean spans, and a finished exterior that does not announce “pole barn” to the neighbors.
What Otsego sites usually need
Otsego is growing fast along the Mississippi and I-94 fringe. Remaining acreage still supports real post-frame buildings, but newer plats can have HOA or city limits on height, metal, and accessory use. We read the lot constraints before we draw a 40-foot sidewall.

Minnesota work we do for Otsego owners
Finished buildings from the Big Lake crew — the same work we do for Otsego owners. When we complete a project there, it will sit here with the city and size.
If the cars have outgrown the garage in Otsego, tell us the mix and the lot. Orton Companies designs and builds collector storage across Central Minnesota in Minnesota.
