Who We Are

More Than
Construction.
Community.

Marathon Construction & Development is a woman-owned enterprise proudly serving Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the broader region — built on the founding belief that exceptional buildings and empowered communities are never separate goals — they are one.

Guided by the principles of entrepreneurial ingenuity, uncompromising client service, and industry-leading practices, Marathon stands at the intersection of superior craftsmanship and genuine social purpose.

We don't simply construct buildings. We regenerate neighborhoods, elevate lives, and strengthen the fabric of our communities through every project we touch.

Entrepreneurial Ingenuity

We approach every challenge with creative problem-solving, innovative thinking, and the bold confidence of a woman-led firm unafraid to redefine industry norms.

Industry-Leading Practices

Marathon sets the standard — integrating the latest in sustainable building technology, rigorous project management, and best-in-class construction methods on every engagement.

"We regenerate our neighborhoods and empower our residents."

A Mission Rooted in Purpose

Marathon's mission goes beyond square footage and floor plans. We are committed to the holistic development of sustainable multifamily housing — homes that are not just structurally sound, but deeply connected to the social, economic, and cultural wellbeing of the people who live in them.

By coupling best-in-class construction with comprehensive supportive services, Marathon creates communities where residents don't merely reside — they thrive. Every development is an investment in human dignity, neighborhood vitality, and generational opportunity.

Partner With Us →

Marathon Development builds upon our construction legacy with a holistic approach to real estate: project conception, site acquisition, design coordination, financing strategy, and full implementation. By controlling total development costs through vertical integration, we create more affordable inventory without compromising quality or livability.

Every development Marathon undertakes is anchored in genuine community need — backed by wrap-around resident services that extend well beyond the ribbon-cutting. We don't just build housing; we build ecosystems where residents can thrive economically, socially, and generationally.

"Lower total development costs create more affordable inventory — and more dignified lives."

Development as Social Impact

Marathon's development model begins with a simple question: who is this for? We partner with municipalities, community development organizations, and housing authorities to ensure that every unit created addresses a real gap in the local housing ecosystem.

From site selection through supportive service design, our integrated team keeps resident wellbeing at the center of every decision. This commitment to purpose-driven development is what sets Marathon apart — and what makes our projects lasting anchors of community revitalization.

Mission & Legacy

Wherever your
project takes you,
Marathon is there.

Marathon Construction & Development is a proud woman-owned enterprise founded on the belief that exceptional buildings and empowered communities are inseparable. With over two decades of experience, we have become a trusted partner in sustainable multifamily housing, commercial construction, and community-driven revitalization across Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Founded in 1998 with a singular vision, Marathon has grown from a boutique Boston contractor into a recognized force for community-centered development. Our journey reflects a steadfast belief that business success and social responsibility are not opposing forces — they are natural, inseparable partners.
