Construction is underway at Wangard Partners‘ Solhaven Grand Chute. Careful planning and cold-weather execution strategies have kept work moving, allowing the project to advance steadily through the early phases of construction. Located in Grand Chute, Wisconsin, the development expands housing options in a growing Fox Valley market. The development is located in a bustling corridor near Wisconsin Avenue and N McCarthy Road, just west of Interstate 41.
Solhaven Grand Chute is a new multi-family apartment community consisting of eight two-story residential buildings with 208 units totaling 119,335 SF. The buildings are organized as stacked flats with a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. The site also includes a 3,000 SF clubhouse with a pool, attached and detached garages, surface parking, an enclosed dog park, access drives, landscaping, and supporting infrastructure.
Greenfire began adding value during preconstruction by helping clarify priorities, cost drivers, and site logistics tied to garages, utilities, and shared amenities. Early coordination with local stakeholders supported approvals and alignment, while a phased eight-building delivery strategy was developed to support leasing and long-term operations. That planning continues to guide sequencing and site management.
Greenfire provides CMAR services, leading both preconstruction and construction. The team is responsible for sitework, utilities, building infrastructure coordination, and oversight of trade partners across the full development campus. The project team consists of design from JLA Architects, civil engineering from Pinnacle Engineering Group and structural engineering from Spire Engineering.
Current construction activities include underground utilities, foundation and structural work, and initial framing of the first residential building sequence. During subzero temperatures, the team has maintained concrete pouring operations using tarping systems and forced-air heating. This helps maintain quality and safety standards and the project on schedule.
As work progresses, construction will continue building by building to support phased delivery. Solhaven Grand Chute is another collaboration with Wangard Partners, adding to a history of several completed projects together. That repeat engagement reflects a working relationship built on familiarity with expectations, coordination, and delivery—with Wangard’s resident experience a top priority.
