About

Peter Schwabe is the third-generation owner, president, and CEO of Peter Schwabe, Inc., the commercial general contractor that moved its headquarters into Ridgeview Corporate Park in 2024.

BizTimes covered the roughly 7,500-square-foot Ridgeview lease under a Pewaukee headline even as the firm's contact block also uses a Waukesha ZIP common to that campus.

He purchased the business and assumed top leadership in 2022 under a family succession agreement with prior president and CEO Dan Schwabe, who remains board chairman and advisor. The firm, founded in 1927, is known for chain retail and restaurant work—including a multi-decade McDonald's relationship—plus auto dealers, health-care, industrial, and education projects.

Schwabe's company bio cites prior roles as controller, vice president, CFO, and board member, plus community service with Women's Care Center of Milwaukee, WCTC's building trades committee, and Waukesha County Business Alliance construction education work. The Ridgeview move framed a second-century push for a more cohesive workspace after years in Brookfield's Bishop's Woods.
