Tim Gokhman oversees development, acquisition and management for New Land Enterprises, a Milwaukee-based real estate development firm specializing in mixed-use residential and commercial real estate. New Land has developed more than 2,200 units across 27 projects and currently owns and manages more than 2,000 apartments and 200,000 square feet of commercial space. The firm developed Rhythm, Milwaukee’s first “micro-unit” apartment building; Black Cat Alley, a defunct alley turned public arts space; the Crossroads Collective food hall; and Ascent MKE, the world’s tallest mass timber building.

Highlights from the past 12 months: “We refinanced Ascent despite a very difficult interest rate environment. That success speaks to the quality and viability of our developments and helped form the basis for the launch of Timber + Partners. We also completed Nova MKE, which laid the foundation for us to expand to Green Bay, the first expansion beyond the greater Milwaukee market.”
