About Us

Curt Fretham started Lake West in 1994 with a single house and an oversized yard in Minnetonka. From there the company has evolved - from creating duplexes, to one and two-property subdivisions, to large mixed-use developments of single and multi-family residences, and commercial buildings. For over two decades Lake West has been acquiring, renovating and developing underutilized properties in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs – and creating exceptional new places for people to live and work.

Our tour de force is creating infill developments on underused land in a way that adds real value to a community. Projects that require flexibility, creativity and imaginative solutions to challenges are our specialty.

Our team is comprised of professionals with deep expertise across the continuum of development disciplines, bringing together a wide array of skills and experiences to execute successful residential, multi-family, and commercial developments and redevelopments.
