Greenfire was the construction manager for Prairie’s Edge first commercial building on a newly developed site owned by Black Cap Halcyon. Prairie’s Edge is a new development along the shores of Lake Michigan in Port Washington. Among the high-end homes, condos and apartments there is a new commercial building that will be the home of Lakeside Alliance Church. The Church will occupy 6,000 SF while an additional 1,500 SF will be available for a future tenant.
The building includes multiple spaces for the growing church to have a variety of functions. There is a main worship space that will seat up to 165 members and visitors. The space includes integrated A/V and electronic window shades. The ceiling features true timber beams that echo the natural landscape of the development. Adjacent to the worship space is a gathering space with a kitchenette and pastor’s office. There is a nursery/mother’s room, child care space and a classroom that will be used by younger members of the church. Each room has a TV for viewing the service as it is broadcasted from the worship space. The finishes throughout the building reflect light, natural colors and a feel that is cohesive with the location on the water.
The site offers direct views of Lake Michigan, future walking paths with access to the adjacent public park, and a variety of parking with electric vehicle parking. Project Manager, Marc Wisniewski and Superintendent, Alan Augustynowicz managed this project, and Greenfire looks forward to this commercial building being a central hub in the growing Prairie’s Edge development.
