Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Wisconsin's free statewide parcel layer carries the owner of every one of Eau Claire's 24,936 parcels, so who holds Oakwood Mall, the hospital campuses, the downtown towers and the Menards empire can be read without an account. Owner data now comes from the State Cartographer's V12 county shapefiles for Eau Claire and Chippewa counties on UW-Madison's own download host, which replaced the ArcGIS-hosted statewide layer whose robots.txt answers 403 (2026-11-04).

Can you find out who owns it?
Wisconsin records title by deed at county registers of deeds; most of Eau Claire is in Eau Claire County, and its north-east corner, around the airport, lies in Chippewa County. Ownership is open: the State Cartographer's Office V12 statewide parcel data, 'provided free of charge' and downloadable by county, carries the owner name, mailing address, assessed values and acreage of all 24,936 City parcels (2025 tax roll for nearly all). The City's own property search runs on Beacon, which bars automated readers, so the V12 county files for Eau Claire and Chippewa counties are the source here. No licence is stated, so single facts are quoted and rows are not republished.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

Civic | City of Eau Claire 2025 roll in the V12 county parcel file (s15): parcel 221020140, owner CITY OF EAU CLAIRE; exempt class X4, so no value is carried; no acreage recorded. The City's own site gives 'City Hall 203 S. Farwell Street' (s3). No conveyance or price is on the roll. |

The roll predates that sale, so the current holder of the 22 acres is Commonweal; the roll does not yet show it. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Values are the City's assessed values on the 2025 roll, as carried in the statewide parcel layer; they are not market values or equalized values. Manufacturing parcels (class 3) are assessed by the State and are included as the layer carries them. Exempt parcels carry no value.

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Public bodies hold the most ground; the largest private acreage is industrial (National Presto, Wild Mill LLC, Cascades Tissue, Perrigo) and subdivision land (Menard Inc, CDPG Developers). Exempt parcels on this roll mostly carry no acreage, so public acreage is understated and counts are the better measure. Figures: parcels, assessed acres where recorded, from the 2025 roll (s15, s16).
| Name | Type | Parcels, 2025 roll |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Eau Claire's new homes are built mostly by local firms on lots they or a developer hold; there is no published builder league table. The roll shows who holds the platted lots: Menard Inc is the largest holder of vacant residential lots in the City, ahead of the local builders. Census permits: 2025, 476 units (33 single-family, 62 in duplexes, 8 in 3-4 unit buildings, 373 in 13 buildings of 5+ units); 2024, 404 units (67, 42, 0, 295) (s14). Builder figures are parcel counts on the 2025 roll (s15, s16), not starts.
| Name | Type | Parcels, 2025 roll |
|---|---|---|
| Menard Inc Vacant class-1 lots concentrated on Iris Dr (71), Mill Meadows Dr (39), Sunflower Ln (39), Losan Ave and Water Lily Dr; its stores (e.g. 4040 Commonwealth Ave, $14.1M) are class 2. Wikipedia (s12): privately owned home-improvement chain headquartered in Eau Claire, 341 stores. Its Menard Dr headquarters mailing address is not a City parcel. Parcels in both county files (s15, s16). |
Private company | 199 vacant residential lots (221 parcels in all, $68.8M)A |
| Wurzer Builders Inc 2025 roll (s15): 149 parcels, $3.46M; 66 class-1, of which 47 vacant and 19 with homes. |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
No REIT owns much of Eau Claire beyond the mall. The biggest landlords are local holding companies - Keystone Corp above all - and a group of student-housing and apartment LLCs near the University. National net-lease owners (Agree, Realty Income, STORE, FCPT, ExchangeRight, an Essential Net Lease DST) each hold one to three single-tenant pads. Figures are assessed value and parcel counts on the 2025 roll (s15).
| Name | Type | Assessed value, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Keystone Corp Office and retail around Oakwood Mall: 3619 S Hastings Way ($10.7M, 13.16 ac), the Ayres and Wipfli buildings on Oakwood Hills Pkwy, Keystone Business Center, and US Bank and AT&T pads on Golf Rd. Mail goes to PO Box 617 or 4777 Menard Dr. No source on who owns Keystone Corp was opened. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The current owner of the former Sacred Heart Hospital's 22 acres: Volume One reports the sale to Commonweal Development Corp in Oct 2025, but the roll still shows BHEI Inc and no later record was opened.
- Which parcel holds the Marshfield Medical Center hospital building at 2310 Craig Rd (MCHS Hospitals Inc or Marshfield Clinic Inc).
- What the largest unnamed parcels are: 955 W Clairemont Ave (Station 955 LLC, $36.1M), 220 Eau Claire St (Haymarket Concepts LLC, $28.2M), 224 N Barstow St (Phoenix Parkside II LLC, $26.4M), 200 Riverfront Terrace (Royal Credit Union, $13.5M), 800 Wisconsin St (Banbury Place Inc, 26.7 acres) - no opened source names the buildings.
- Who stands behind Keystone Corp, Haymarket Concepts LLC and Eau Claire Confluence Arts Inc, which share PO Box 617 on the roll; nothing is inferred from the shared box.
- No sale prices: the V12 parcel files carry none, and Wisconsin's real estate transfer return search was not opened; the Register of Deeds' HTML pages are closed to crawlers by robots.txt.
- Eau Claire County Courthouse at 721 Oxford Ave: the County parcel is on the roll, but no opened source ties the address to the courthouse, so it is not a marquee entry.
