Three Leaf Partners has a propensity for multifamily developments and also does mixed-use, commercial and senior living projects. Even as it has grown, it selects projects based on relationships with partners in the local real estate world as it also looks to make an impact — a strategy Connaughton sees as a competitive advantage.

With a stylish new downtown Milwaukee office, a growing team and an expanded pipeline of projects, Milwaukee Bucks player Pat Connaughton’s real estate development firm Three Leaf Partners has been scaling its impact beyond its roots in single-family home flipping.

Three Leaf Partners, a development firm founded by Milwaukee Bucks player Pat Connaughton, plans to build a six-story, 247-unit market-rate apartment building at the site of the former Clark Oil corporate headquarters in West Allis.
