About Gerrard Companies
We don’t really like to talk about ourselves. We like to let our work speak for us. We’d rather listen to you—how you hope to live a better, less stressful life.
So we’ll be brief. Gerrard Companies is a family-owned business with expertise in real estate. We build and manage condominiums, offices, apartment communities, and residential neighborhoods. Our holdings span seven states: Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Our father began his career in this industry over 50 years ago, and continues to guide us today.
