Team Greenfire was proud to attend and sponsor a fun event hosted by NAIOP Wisconsin: a development bus tour of Oconomowoc, WI. The event showcased current and under construction developments, the comprehensive plan regarding future land use, neighborhoods, transportation, sustainability, and other resurgent features of the city. One of the featured stops was Greenfire’s current project, Phase II of the Locklyn at Olympia Fields, a development by Wangard Partners.
The tour began with greetings from the event’s sponsors, including Greenfire’s president, Jeb Meier. Attendees also received introductions and insights from various developers such as Stu Wangard of Wangard Partners and Phil Aiello of Mandel Group.
As the bus toured through the redeveloped site that once was the Olympia Resort, the bus approached the second phase of the Lockyln at Olympia Fields. Tour guests got to see firsthand the progress of the construction that Greenfire is currently managing.
The tour was conducted by Bob Duffy, Director of Economic Development with the City of Oconomowoc, who provided detailed background for each site visited. The tour route included a visit to industrial developments south of Interstate 94, showcasing the area’s expanding industrial sector. Participants then headed north into downtown Oconomowoc, where they observed the resurgence of commerce that has revitalized the area since the great recession. Bob reiterated the city’s commitment to continued improvement of the city, and that Oconomowoc is a prime partner in attracting developers and commerce. The tour concluded at the Locklyn at Olympia Fields clubhouse, where Greenfire sponsored the cocktail reception.
Greenfire’s involvement in the Locklyn Phase II project is significantly contributing to the growth and vitality of Oconomowoc. As a centrally located hub between Milwaukee and Madison, Oconomowoc continues to grow exponentially and the demand for quality housing will continue to rise. Greenfire is always eager to take part in events like this NAIOP tour of Oconomowoc to offer a firsthand look at what we’re working on, and network with developers and local officials who help make community improvements possible.
