Williston Shop Condos is holding an open house on site at 313 60th Ave W on Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. You can walk the finished buildings, see the interior finish level in person, eat smoked meat, wings and sloppy joes, and enter a free on site raffle for a mini dirt bike, an ATV and two 85 inch TVs.
It is also the last easy look at Phase 1 before it sells through. Of the 22 units in Phase 1, 18 are still available, priced from $225 per square foot, with delivery this fall.
What actually happens at the August 29 open house?
You show up at 313 60th Ave W, just off Highway 2 on the west side of Williston, any time between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. No appointment, no pressure, no sales table blocking the door. The overhead doors will be open and you can walk the units yourself.
We are feeding people: smoked meat, chicken wings and sloppy joes. Grab a plate and enter the raffle while you are there. The prizes are a mini dirt bike, an ATV and two 85 inch TVs, drawn from entries taken on site that day.
Bring a tape measure and bring the equipment dimensions you actually care about. The single most useful thing you can do in those three hours is stand inside a 30 by 50 with your trailer length in your head and decide whether you need the next size up. That is a question that is very cheap to answer on August 29 and very expensive to answer after closing.
If you have been renting shop space in Williston and quietly wondering what it would cost to own instead, this is a three hour window to get the whole answer in person. Walk the space, see the finish, ask what your payment looks like, and leave with real numbers instead of a guess.
What am I actually buying at Williston Shop Condos?
Sixty one shop condominiums across three phases, built by Schauer Construction just off Highway 2. Units run 1,500 to 2,280 square feet with 16 foot sidewalls and 14 foot plus overhead doors. Every one is delivered move in ready with drywall and paint finish, not a bare shell you have to spend another $40,000 finishing.
Standard in every unit: a three quarter bath with sink, toilet and shower, a 24 foot trough floor drain, a shop sink with hot and cold water, heat and air conditioning, 5K LED lighting, a ceiling fan, a storage closet, one hour fire rated party walls between units, separately metered utilities, two to three parking spaces, room for a future office build out, and a one year builder warranty.

| Dimensions | Size | Price From |
|---|---|---|
| 30 x 50 | 1,500 SF | $337,500 |
| 30 x 55 | 1,650 SF | $371,250 |
| 32 x 55 | 1,760 SF | $396,000 |
| 30 x 60 | 1,800 SF | $405,000 |
| 38 x 55 | 2,090 SF | $470,250 |
| 36 x 60 | 2,160 SF | $486,000 |
| 38 x 60 | 2,280 SF | $513,000 |
All seven footprints price at $225 per square foot. Neighboring units can be combined into one larger footprint, which is how a couple of the bigger operators here are solving for a 4,000 square foot need without leaving the development. You can see the live unit list at WillistonShopCondos.com.
The association handles snow removal, landscaping, common area maintenance, exterior building insurance, water, sewer, garbage and bylaw enforcement. Dues are $1,500 per year. That is $125 a month for a building you never maintain from the outside, and in a Williston winter the snow removal line alone earns most of it back.
This is a condominium, so you own your unit and a share of the common elements, and the bylaws govern the rest. That structure is why the exterior stays uniform and why one neighbor cannot turn the front of the building into a junkyard. Read the bylaws before you sign. I will walk you through them.
Does owning a shop in Williston beat renting one?
Comparable Williston shop space leases in the range of $16 to $20 per square foot per year, plus triple net. On a 1,500 square foot unit at the midpoint, that is roughly $27,000 a year before you add taxes, insurance and maintenance pass throughs. Five years of that is north of $135,000, and at the end of it you own exactly nothing.
The same 1,500 square feet here starts at $337,500 with $1,500 a year in dues. I am not going to hand you a payment figure without knowing your down payment, your rate and whether you are buying personally or through an entity, because those three inputs move the answer more than the price does. The site has a calculator to run your own numbers, and I will run the real version with you.
The other side of it is that these are investor friendly. You can buy a unit and lease it out, which is a different conversation entirely and one where the numbers, not the emotion, decide. My Institutional Investment Services certification and Crexi Platinum Broker designation exist for exactly that kind of underwriting, and I am happy to run it cold.
Bring your current lease to the open house. Rate per square foot, term remaining, and what your NNN charges ran last year. That is everything I need to tell you in about ten minutes whether buying here is better than renewing.
Who are these shops actually built for?
Contractors and oilfield service operators who need to get a crew, a truck and equipment under one roof with a bathroom and a floor drain that can handle real work. Small business owners who have outgrown a garage and do not want a landlord in the middle of their growth. Investors who want a Williston asset that is not another residential rental.
Then there is the other half of the buyer pool, and I am not being cute about this: vehicle collectors, RV and boat owners, and people who want a heated, finished, air conditioned place to keep the toys and work on them in February. A 16 foot sidewall with a 14 foot door takes a fifth wheel without drama. Williston is a town where storage for that stuff is genuinely tight, and paying to store a camper somewhere else every winter starts to look silly once you have priced this.
Where is the build right now, and when does Phase 1 deliver?
As of the August 17, 2026 update, exteriors are moving fast. Steel siding, stone wainscot, windows, entry doors and overhead doors are installed across the first buildings, and the concrete aprons are poured. Inside, drywall is up and taped in the first units, with finishing work moving building to building. The site went from first cut of dirt in April to footings, framing in June, roofing in July, and stone exterior by late July.
Phase 1 delivers Fall 2026 with 18 of 22 units still available. Phase 2 follows Fall 2027 and Phase 3 Fall 2028. What you see on August 29 is not a rendering and it is not a model home in another town. It is the actual building you would own a piece of.
Schauer Construction handles every phase in house, from site prep and footings through the final coat of paint. Jerry Schauer has been building in North Dakota for more than twenty years, born and raised in Mandan, and the same standards behind his custom shops and garages across the state go into all 61 of these units. In a market that has seen its share of out of state developers show up, sell and leave, a local builder doing his own concrete and his own roofing is not a small detail.
Phase 1 pricing and unit selection are the best they will be right now. As Phase 1 fills, the remaining choices narrow to whatever footprint is left, which is rarely the one you actually wanted. If a specific size matters to you, come on the 29th.
Common questions about Williston Shop Condos
When and where is the Williston Shop Condos open house?
Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, on site at 313 60th Ave W in Williston, just off Highway 2. It is open to the public, no appointment needed. Food and the on site raffle run the whole three hours.
What do the shop condos cost?
All units price from $225 per square foot. That runs from $337,500 for a 1,500 square foot 30 by 50 up to $513,000 for a 2,280 square foot 38 by 60. Association dues are $1,500 per year on top of that, billed annually.
What is included in a unit, and what do I have to finish myself?
Units are delivered move in ready with drywall and paint, a three quarter bath, shop sink, floor drain, heat and air conditioning, 5K LED lighting and a one year builder warranty. Nothing else is required. Interiors are fully customizable, so lofts, offices, epoxy or polished floors and kitchenettes are optional owner add ons, not standard.
Can I rent my shop condo out to a tenant?
Yes. The development is investor friendly and units can be leased. Because it is a condominium, the bylaws govern how that works, so read them before you buy if leasing is your plan. I can pull them for you and walk through the relevant sections.
Can I combine two units into one bigger shop?
Yes. Neighboring units can be combined into a single larger footprint. That is the path for anyone who needs more than 2,280 square feet, and it is worth raising early because it depends on which adjacent units are still available.
How many Phase 1 units are left and when does it deliver?
Phase 1 has 18 of 22 units still available and delivers Fall 2026. Phase 2 follows in Fall 2027 and Phase 3 in Fall 2028. Availability changes, so check the live unit list before you plan around a specific size.
What do the association dues actually cover?
Snow removal, landscaping, common area maintenance, exterior building insurance, water, sewer, garbage and bylaw enforcement. At $1,500 a year, or $125 a month, you are not responsible for the outside of the building. You still insure your own contents and interior improvements.
Can I see a unit if I cannot make it on August 29?
Yes. Call or text me at 701-369-3949 and I will set up a private showing, send full building floor plans, or hold a unit while you run financing. The open house is convenient, not the only door in.
Williston has never had a shortage of people who need shop space. What it has had a shortage of is a way to own it instead of renting it, in a building somebody local actually stands behind. That is the whole opportunity here, and Phase 1 is the cheapest and widest selection this development will ever offer.
Come on Saturday. Eat, walk a unit, enter the raffle, and bring me your lease so we can do the honest math on it.
