Green Bay, Wisconsin

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.

The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.

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.

Green Bay's largest landholders are public bodies and paper mills. The City holds the most parcels; the paper companies (Georgia-Pacific, Procter & Gamble, Green Bay Packaging) hold the biggest private acreage along the Fox and East rivers; and the west side lies partly within the Oneida Reservation, so the Oneida Nation is a substantial owner, both in fee and through land the United States holds in trust for it. Figures are parcel counts and summed assessed acres from the City's 2026 Completed Real Estate Assessment Roll (printed 20 Apr 2026, read 4 Nov 2026), with each owner's spellings grouped by this research; exempt parcels carry no value, so holdings are given in acres. Parcels held in trust for individual tribal members are not counted and no individual is named.

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.

Green Bay builds few new homes, and no national builder or single-family-rental REIT holds a parcel in the City under its own name (none of D.R. Horton, Lennar, Pulte, NVR, Toll, Taylor Morrison, Invitation Homes, American Homes 4 Rent or Progress Residential on the City's 2026 roll). Census permits for the City show single-family units of 58 (2021), 37 (2022), 37 (2023), 42 (2024) and 56 (2025). Apartments came late: no 5+-unit buildings were permitted in 2021-2023, then 432 units in 13 buildings ($122.6M) in 2024 and 213 units in 9 buildings ($81.3M) in 2025. Growth happens in the suburbs (Bellevue, Suamico, Ledgeview, Hobart). No builder league table exists, so the figures below are parcels held on the City's 2026 roll; companies named after a person are not listed.

The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.

Green Bay has no office REIT and almost no national landlord. Its biggest commercial values belong to hospital systems, food and paper manufacturers, its own bank and a handful of local holding companies. The national names on the roll are Americold (cold storage), an out-of-state owner of the 27.6-acre property at 2851 University Ave, and Chicago-area owners of downtown sites. Figures are 2026 values from the City's Completed Real Estate Assessment Roll, summed by this research; where several LLCs share a mailing address that is all the roll says, and common control is not asserted.
