Vision & Leadership
The Owners
201 Lake Street Condominiums embody the vision and enduring dedication of Lowell Zitzloff and his family, whose business and development roots run deep in the Twin Cities, particularly in Wayzata and the Lake Minnetonka region. As the creators of 201 Lake Street Condominiums, the Zitzloff family has crafted a boutique, design-focused community that honors Wayzata’s character through thoughtful planning, lasting quality, and a long-term commitment to the neighborhood.
Together with Lowell’s late wife, Norma Zitzloff, the family built a legacy of responsible business ownership and commercial property development grounded in stewardship and community investment. Their family-owned companies continue this tradition of responsible ownership and development in Wayzata. 201 Lake Street sustains this approach by creating homes and commercial spaces that deliver lasting value for residents, businesses, and the community.

The firm’s leadership is rooted in end-to-end project delivery. Mark McLane is recognized for comprehensive multifamily and commercial development experience, having been directly responsible for development duties “from opportunity generation to stabilization and asset management.” Tim Marco brings nearly 20 years of commercial and multifamily development expertise, including site selection, entitlements, financial underwriting, debt/equity sourcing, and master planning, with an emphasis on collaborative execution.

Bruce W. Schmitt & Associates, P.A. – Architects
​​
​​
Bruce W. Schmitt & Associates served as the initial architect for 201 Lake Street Condominiums, (originally known as Westway), helping shape the early vision and foundational design direction for the development. Based in Wayzata, Minnesota, the firm has provided architectural design and services in the Twin Cities since 1980, bringing a long-standing understanding of local character, neighborhood context, and the practical realities of building in established communities.
​
As an initial design partner, Bruce W. Schmitt & Associates is known for guiding projects from concept through completion, with services that include architectural design, site planning, and zoning review—disciplines especially important in the earliest stages of a condominium development. Their approach emphasizes turning a client’s goals into a workable, well-planned design, while also helping ensure the project fits its site, supports the intended lifestyle, and aligns with municipal requirements.
For 201 Lake Street, that early-stage leadership helped establish a clear direction: a boutique, design-conscious residential concept aligned with Wayzata’s standards for quality and long-term value. With a local office on Manitoba Avenue in Wayzata, the firm’s proximity and community familiarity support an “understands-the-neighborhood” mindset—bringing practical insight into local planning considerations and thoughtful site integration that helps a project feel like it belongs.
​
ESG Architecture & Design

Known for creating “memorable destinations” through integrated design services, ESG is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm with a national presence.
At 201 Lake Condos, ESG’s strength lies in creating buildings that feel timeless, livable, and intentional—where architecture, interiors, and the resident experience are cohesive. From concept planning through construction administration, ESG’s architecture team brings a disciplined design process that prioritizes thoughtful layouts, enduring materials, and spaces that elevate everyday living. Their work spans multiple markets and building types, with a focus on creating environments that enhance the public realm and support long-term value. ESG’s approach aligns with 201 Lake Street’s boutique scale and refined character.​​
Quality Construction
The Builder
Experienced builders delivering excellence at every stage of construction, ensuring each project meets the highest standards of quality, durability, and craftsmanship.
​​
​
The core and shell construction team for 201 Lake Street Condominiums is responsible for delivering the structural and exterior components that define the building’s long-term performance and integrity. Working as a full-service general contractor with deep experience in multifamily and mixed-use construction, the builder will bring the planning, coordination, and execution discipline required for a boutique condominium community where quality, schedule, and precision are essential.
From early preconstruction planning through field execution, the construction team emphasizes proactive coordination, constructability reviews, and disciplined project management to keep complex developments aligned from concept through completion. Their approach prioritizes schedule reliability, and efficient construction methods that protect quality and maintain the project’s long-term vision.
Particularly important in a project like 201 Lake, expertise in multi-unit residential structures and building systems ensures that foundational components—from structural systems to the building envelope and waterproofing—are executed to perform long term. This stage of construction establishes the framework that allows residences and amenities to ultimately achieve a luxury standard of living.
Equally important is a culture centered on construction quality and jobsite safety, where professionalism and craftsmanship guide daily work. In essence, the builder’s role is to deliver a well-executed core and shell that sets the stage for the refined interiors and living experience future residents will enjoy from day one.

With development experience dating back to 2001 and a track record of helping businesses restructure and position for succession or transactions, he contributes a steady “owner’s mindset” that supports clear communication, strong execution, and a buyer process built on credibility. Darren Knight is the founder and licensed broker of US Brokerage LLC. He is also an experienced lawyer who has assisted clients with residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout the Twin Cities. Mr. Knight has worked with Lowell Zitzloff & family in many significant development and commercial real estate matters for nearly 30 years.

US Brokerage LLC emphasizes a guiding principle: putting the client’s needs first. That philosophy shows up in the day-to-day—transparent communication, realistic guidance, and a steady commitment to doing things the right way rather than the easy way. Over time, that approach earns the trust of buyers, cooperating agents/brokers, and project partners alike, moving transactions smoothly from initial interest to closing. For a boutique luxury condominium project in Wayzata, US Brokerage strives for the right approach. 201 Lake isn’t just being marketed; it’s being stewarded—by a team that understands and respects the details and all parties involved.
