Curt Fretham started the business 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.
