Real estate people who also run the buildings.
bantr develops, owns and operates apartments and hotels across Wisconsin, and runs every one of them with its own teams. Investors and partners work with the same company that owns the result.
The operator is built in.
Most owners hire out the work that decides what a building earns. We built a team for each part of it, so a building we buy is run by the people who bought it. See the nine teams →
- 01We develop
Construction and change-of-use projects, planned and built by our own crews, with our own interior design team on the finishes.
- 02We own
We find the buildings, raise the money and report to our investors ourselves.
- 03We operate
Leasing, marketing, property management, maintenance, cleaning and the monthly numbers, each with its own team, in every building we own.

Current operating model
Buildings we know how to run.
We buy what our teams can operate. That keeps the list short.
- 01Apartments
Larger apartment buildings first, in Wisconsin and the Midwest. Central Wisconsin, the Fox Valley and the Madison area are closest to our teams; a building with enough units can justify a new team around it.
- 02Mixed-use
Apartments alongside short-term stays, a hotel or commercial space. Our teams already run all of those under one roof.
- 03A change of use
A building whose original use no longer works in its market, converted into apartments and run by us, as at Weston, Neenah and Chilton.
Proof you can drive to.
Every building is a real address, run by our teams today. See the portfolio →
