Hovde Properties is a family-owned and managed real estate company founded by Ingvald 'Inky' Hovde in 1933. Initially a one-man operation, Hovde Properties has grown under the stewardship of his descendants, now led by grandsons Steve and Eric Hovde. With strong ties to its Wisconsin roots, the company has established itself as a leading developer, owner, and manager of both residential and commercial real estate throughout the state. Hovde Properties is dedicated to creating strong communities through high-quality developments, emphasizing attentive customer service that matches the quality of its buildings.
The company's historical milestones include the acquisition of significant properties such as the Hovde Building and the Churchill Building, showcasing its long-standing presence in Madison's real estate landscape. A notable initiative in the 1990s involved the development of over 3,000 residential and commercial acres known as Richmond Hills. In recent years, Hovde Properties has embarked on an aggressive expansion strategy focusing on mixed-use urban infill developments, with successful projects like Ovation 309 and the Brix Apartment Lofts.
Driven by core values of teamwork, integrity, and commitment to quality, Hovde Properties has experienced significant growth and is preparing to expand further within Wisconsin and beyond. Recent revenue growth and a strong development pipeline position the company well for future opportunities in the evolving real estate market.
