MILWAUKEE, WI (September 25, 2026) – Catalyst Construction has been selected as the general contractor for Lockside, a $70 million mixed-use riverfront development from New Land Enterprises in downtown De Pere, Wisconsin.
Located along the Fox River in the 100 block of South Broadway, Lockside will transform a prominent downtown site into a new residential and commercial destination featuring 173 residences, including 144 apartments and approximately 25 condominiums, along with retail and restaurant space, parking and new public gathering areas. The condominium count is approximate: presales have been off to a strong start, and due to high demand several buyers have requested combining adjoining smaller units into larger floor plans, a trend expected to bring the final condominium count down slightly as the unit mix is finalized.
The residences are arranged with condominiums occupying both the top and bottom floors of the building in a mix of penthouse and townhome-style homes. The multi-level, waterfront townhomes feature private entrances, private terraces and direct access to the Fox River. Commercial space will line Broadway at street level, anchored by a prominent restaurant space with terraces overlooking the river.
“We’re seeing a unique demand for condos from people who already live in — and love — this neighborhood.,” said Tim Gokhman, Managing Director of New Land Enterprises. “Some are ready to downsize or shift to a maintenance-free lifestyle, but they want to stay close to their favorite local shops and restaurants. It shows how special this neighborhood is, and we can’t wait to contribute to the momentum. We’re thrilled to partner with Catalyst again to bring the vision to life.”
The development is designed to strengthen the connection between downtown De Pere and the Fox River, creating new opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the waterfront while adding housing and commercial activity in the heart of the city.
“Lockside is an exciting project because it brings so many elements together in one of downtown De Pere’s most prominent locations,” said Ryan Raskin, Project Executive at Catalyst Construction. “There’s a lot of complexity that comes with a development of this scale, particularly on a riverfront site, and we’re looking forward to working alongside New Land and the entire project team to bring their vision to life. We’ve built a strong relationship with New Land over the years, and we’re proud to continue that partnership on another transformational project.”
Lockside marks the latest collaboration between Catalyst and New Land Enterprises. The two companies previously worked together on Ascent in downtown Milwaukee, the 25-story, 259-unit development recognized as the world’s tallest mass timber structure.
Named for the historic lock that helped shape De Pere’s history, Lockside is designed to complement the city’s connection to the Fox River while creating a new destination along the waterfront. In addition to its residences and commercial spaces, the development will introduce new public gathering areas and expanded access to the riverfront.
Lockside will also feature an extensive collection of resident amenities, including a pool, sauna and hydrotherapy suite, fitness center, third-floor terrace, coffee lounge, club room, coworking areas and heated underground parking.
Construction is expected to start in January 2027.
