Cloud Village, the Ho-Chunk Nation’s newest affordable housing development in Baraboo, Wisconsin, recently marked its official ribbon cutting with tribal leaders, project partners, and community members in attendance. The 65,000 SF development delivers 40 apartment units in a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts with both underground and surface parking, recreational spaces, and community amenities.
The ceremony featured remarks from developer and Ho-Chunk member Collin Price of Heeną Development, who led the project’s vision from concept through completion. Tribal representatives spoke about the project’s impact on the community and expressed appreciation to Greenfire for its leadership and collaboration. Attendees toured the building and outdoor spaces including the new athletic courts and playgrounds designed to foster community activity and connection.
Greenfire was engaged from the earliest stages of planning, helping coordinate with multiple stakeholders to set the project on solid footing before construction began. The team provided early budgeting, logistics planning, and constructability input to align the design with the Ho-Chunk Nation’s goals for sustainability, affordability while balancing community-focused features. During construction, Greenfire managed daily field operations, scheduling, and safety oversight—delivering the project ahead of schedule and under budget.
Designed by Dimension IV Madison Design Group and built to Enterprise Green Community standards, Cloud Village incorporates sustainable features including high-efficiency appliances, electric vehicle charging stations, and advanced stormwater management. Its combination of affordability, durability, and energy performance demonstrates how housing density can be achieved responsibly in rural communities.
Cloud Village is a model for future tribal and rural housing initiatives. By pairing collaboration with strong project management, Cloud Village shows that high-quality, sustainable housing can be delivered efficiently and with long-term community benefit.
