About
A local success story
Toonen Properties has been shaping the standard for apartment living in Northeast Wisconsin since 1983—but the vision began long before then.
It all started with founder Robert Toonen, who boldly set out to build something from the ground up. Driven by the belief that resident satisfaction would pave the way to success, Robert focused on creating communities where people truly feel at home.
While pursuing a business degree in college, Robert discovered a deep passion for real estate. Determined to gain hands-on experience, he earned his real estate license and took a job at a Green Bay brokerage. After years of careful saving, he purchased his first rental property—a modest two-family home on Green Bay’s west side.
That first investment sparked momentum. Four more two-family homes followed, eventually leading Robert to design and construct his first multifamily development: an eight-unit apartment building. In 1983, his dream officially took shape with the creation of Cedar Lake—laying the foundation for what would become Toonen Properties.
Today, Toonen Companies stands as one of the most respected residential developers in the region. With a dedicated and professional team, we set the industry standard through a customer-first approach.
With nearly 3,000 units across the Green Bay and Fox Valley areas, our thoughtfully designed communities prioritize comfort, style, and quality living. Toonen’s commitment to innovation, service, and community remains the gold standard for modern apartment living.
