At Dominion Properties, we are in the business of quality East Side Milwaukee apartments. Our buildings with downtown and East Side apartments are more than just units for rent, they are your homes. What drives us to provide superior apartments for rent on Milwaukee’s East Side and downtown?
Dominion Properties emerged from a friendship that started in this great city. The partnership was ignited by two regular guys, Christopher and Michael, in a dorm room at Marquette University. With dedication, perseverance, savvy business skills, and a whole lot of hard work, this big idea to provide quality downtown and East Side apartments grew and grew.
Since 2000, Christopher and Michael have literally been getting their hands dirty, working tirelessly to enhance some of Milwaukee's most vibrant neighborhoods. Why? Check out our available apartments for rent on Milwaukee’s East Side and downtown to see for yourself.
We purchase and invest in properties on Milwaukee’s vibrant East Side that need a little help. From historic buildings on busy streets like Prospect, Brady, Oakland and Farwell, to underappreciated, undiscovered treasures in quiet neighborhoods, we have invested our savings, our time and our resolve to bring them back to their prime.
Project after project, we have grown our portfolio. But what really matters to us is that we have created great downtown and East Side Milwaukee apartments, places that people are proud to call home. Every decision we make is based on what is right for the neighborhood and our residents — because giving back and contributing to our community is our ultimate goal.
The Dominion Properties team members are proud Milwaukeeans. Since 1986 we have lived and worked in the neighborhoods we continue to support. We will never forget where our "big" idea took root and how our residents' positive ideas and feedback regarding sustainability and community have helped guide us and our success.
Every day we are looking for new opportunities to make a difference; a historic building to rehab, an infill property to enhance a neighborhood, or a location where we can introduce a new level of sustainable living. We hope to invest more in this city and other downtown and East Side Milwaukee apartments.
We look forward to having you as a resident in a Dominion property!
If you have heard of Dominion Properties, then we are sure you know Mike! He is the networking, big picture guy and creative visionary that every good partnership needs. While he's just as willing to get his hands dirty as any other member of the Dominion Properties' team, he likes to focus on fostering relationships in the Milwaukee business and real estate community. Growing up Mike made frequent moves between the cities of Milwaukee, Chicago, and Atlanta, but chose to return to earn a degree in Political Science from Marquette University. This political thinking helps him analyze situations, make good business decisions and build quality relationships. Outwardly, Mike is very social and fun to be around, while inwardly he is serious about finding properties, exploring them and closing the deal. He has a gifted vision about the potential of what each property and project could become and the energy to see that it does.
Mike believes in neighborhood integrity, sustainability and leaving a legacy; he wants Dominion Properties to leave a positive mark on Milwaukee. Recently receiving the 2012 "Cream of the Cream City Award" from the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Milwaukee, Mike is recognized as a thoughtful steward of historic buildings. While the company greatly benefits from his leadership, so do the organizations he is involved with-- the Southeastern Wisconsin Apartment Association, Milwaukee RING, Milwaukee REIA and the Eastside Milwaukee Community Council. Focused, driven, and outgoing, Mike has big ideas for Dominion Properties and the City of Milwaukee.
Christopher leads Dominion Properties' development team, overseeing all major renovation and new construction projects, and drives the integration of new real estate technology in building materials, practices, wellness, and sustainability.

Christopher has personally restored three historic homes in Milwaukee and received the "Cream of the Cream City" award from the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Milwaukee twice.
