Marathon County home sales, Oct. 12–20, 2026

Ruedebusch Development, the company behind Kronenwetter’s planned 24/7 logistics hub, bought $3.76 million of County Road XX land Monday through an LLC formed in August. The buyer, 2027 Wausau LLC, was organized Aug. 5, according to state corporate records, which list the company’s principal office at 4605 Dovetail Drive in Madison — the headquarters of Ruedebusch Development & Construction Inc. and its affiliate RDC National Inc., a firm that specializes in build-to-suit development for single tenants. The seller, Alliance Holdings LLC, owns the land along County Road XX where Ruedebusch plans a 230,000-square-foot distribution facility operating around the clock. The transfer, recorded Oct. 19, covers commercial land at 1671 and 1693 County Road XX and ranks as the second-largest Marathon County transaction of the past month, behind only the $5.53 million sale of The Reserve at Greenwood Hills.

A few steps away is the classroom where they’ll learn how electricity works. Beside it, a handful of poles six stories tall mark the training yard where they’ll train to install and repair power lines, a skill that’s increasingly in need as Wisconsin’s infrastructure ages and data centers demand ever more energy.
