We create tailored real estate solutions for businesses seeking purpose-built facilities. Our development team handles site selection, permitting, and construction management while maintaining environmental sustainability standards. This service caters primarily to industrial users and commercial tenants requiring specialized facilities in prime Midwest locations with strategic highway access.

Industrial Development

Focus on industrial park development and brownfield remediation with emphasis on e-commerce logistics infrastructure. Our 149-acre Highlands Business Park and Franklin Corporate Park offer Class A warehouse spaces with interstate connectivity. We specialize in transforming contaminated sites into productive industrial assets through sustainable redevelopment practices.

Multifamily Capabilities

We develop and manage upscale apartment communities across Wisconsin. Our portfolio includes mixed-use developments with retail components and modern amenities. The Locklyn apartment complex in Oconomowoc and Tivoli Green in Mount Pleasant exemplify our commitment to creating livable communities with attention to design and sustainability.

Sale-Leaseback Financing

This financial strategy allows business owners to convert real estate assets into working capital while maintaining operational control.

portrays with his tenants, partners, associates. Wangard invests their
time & energy in each of us, vendor/contractor.
