November 2023 Project Spotlight | Potawatomi Casino | Hotel

Eleven Hundred Bar

Posted by & filed under News, Hospitality, Tribal.

Dynamic light fixtures, video screens, dining options including a real food truck…these are just some of the upgrades the Potawatomi Casino | Hotel (PCH) are making to attract and retain visitors. The new upgrades to PCH include new finishes, additional gaming machines and tables and new amenity spaces. There is a new gift shop, coffee shop, VIP lounge – Club 1833, and additional bars. The new food venues includes a Rock N’ Brews – rock n’ roll themed restaurant and bar, Street Eatz – a food court complete with a food truck, and Cream City Coffee Co. These new spaces are on the second level of the casino and represent the conclusion of the first phase of the renovations. Still to come is the Potawatomi Sportsbook, which is slated to be open in 2024.

Through a joint venture with Gilbane, Greenfire Management Services provided construction management throughout the renovation. We coordinated the subcontractors, participated in OAC meetings and provided on-site solutions when challenges arose. Through open communication and collaboration, we successfully completed this complicated interior renovation while the casino and hotel were operational. One example of how we kept the disturbance low was to deliver all of the materials and supplies through a side area as to not disrupt the freight elevators that the staff uses. We also installed temporary walls to keep the dust and noise mitigated and away from the guest areas. Careful staging, phasing and planning all contributed to a minimally disruptive construction period.

Market on River will be the “It” place in Chippewa Falls in 2024. The historic renovation in downtown Chippewa Falls will be a catalytic project and attract small businesses and visitors alike. The 45,000 square foot, mixed-use building will have a food hall on the first floor with several spaces for entrepreneurs and small businesses to operate. The second floor will be the headquarters for the Wisconsin Farmers Union and have gathering and event spaces. The third floor will have apartments.

On September 26, 2023, the Wisconsin Farmers Union held a community open house and brick signing celebration to mark the beginning of construction for the historic renovation project.

This project marks an important milestone in the story of the Wisconsin Farmers Union as they look to preserve the past while thinking towards the future. The building was constructed in 1916 after a fire destroyed the previous structure. It was home to the Chippewa Valley Mercantile Company. The restoration will be thoughtful and careful to embrace the past of this building and be a catalyst for future economic growth in the area.

The living spaces are coined as Social Living and will provide great views, access to local businesses and opportunities for engagement. There is a bike path nearby and a park across the street, making this a desirable destination for anyone from young professionals to families. The Market on River will be a valuable asset to Chippewa Falls and beyond.
