July 29, 2020 – West Bend, WI – The City of West Bend is pleased to announce it has accepted an offer from Trail’s Edge WB, LLC, to purchase 4.44 acres of land for the development of a new 120-unit multifamily apartment complex.
The land, formerly home to Gehl Company’s manufacturing facility, is located in the heart of downtown West Bend between the Eisenbahn State Trail and South Forest Avenue.

“We are excited to take the next step toward bringing high-quality, market rate, new construction apartment homes to downtown West Bend,” said Kraig Sadownikow, President of American Companies. “There is a strong demand for a new facility that offers enclosed parking, modern amenities and an unbeatable location. This development will have a positive impact on the downtown economy, recreation and culture. ”
“West Bend is proud of the advancement of economic development and growth of our downtown,” said Mayor Christophe E. Jenkins. “Working collaboratively with former-Mayor Sadownikow and his team builds upon the positive momentum of West Bend’s past success. I am proud to continue to foster this economic growth and take the lead as our team elevates the city moving forward.”
