About Us

A legacy of development built on trust

Operating since 1949, the Helgesen companies—including Helgesen Development, Helgesen Family Limited, and Helgesen Holdings—long served as a cornerstone of the regional industrial landscape, specializing in the design, construction, and management of over two million square feet of real estate across Wisconsin and Illinois. Founded by Donald W. Helgesen and later led by his son, Jeffrey W. Helgesen, the organization established a legacy of vertical integration, transforming complex project goals into efficient, high-value facilities for global leaders in manufacturing and logistics. While the company has moved away from active development and new construction in recent years, its impact remains visible through an extensive portfolio of industrial centers and long-standing relationships with the subcontractors and tenants who defined its decades of growth. Today, the Helgesen name represents a completed chapter of dedicated service and family-driven entrepreneurship that helped shape the economic infrastructure of the communities it served.
