Greenfire has completed the next phase of commercial construction at the Prairie’s Edge development along Lake Michigan in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Portside Investment Advisors phase of commercial buildout is tailored to meet their specific needs.
Greenfire previously completed the core and shell construction of the commercial building for Black Cap Halcyon, the developers of the Prairie’s Edge development as well as the buildout for the first tenant, Lakeside Alliance Church. Having an in-depth understanding of the building’s infrastructure, Greenfire could offer better coordination between base construction and tenant-specific modifications, reducing redundancies and potential delays, versus if the tenant buildout was completed by another firm. This aligned design intent and execution, optimized scheduling and material procurement. As a result, the transition from shell completion to occupancy is significantly accelerated, allowing tenants to move in and begin operations sooner while maintaining cost control and construction quality. This approach was successful for Lakeside Alliance Church and was no different from Portside Investment Advisors’ new office spaces as well.
The new office space occupies the final 1,500 SF of the 7,500 SF commercial building in the center of the Praire’s Edge development, centrally located amongst the growing development of high-end homes, condominiums, and apartments.
Portside’s new space keys into the coastal aesthetic with unique fixtures and design elements. Fitting in this coastal theme is the high-end finishes of Portside’s new offices, which features a conference room with glass walls, common areas, separate offices and facilities for the staff. Nearly every square inch of the new office spaces features a great view of Lake Michigan.
Onboarding Greenfire early in the construction of a core and shell build can help streamline the process and can increase efficiencies when time comes to completing a tenant buildout. Portside Investment Advisors is a prime example of just that.
“There was more uniqueness put to this than I ever hoped. All of the signature elements that we planned for are looking great. We are certainly planning that our impact from the use of the space will be very meaningful to many people over the years. I know I’m going to really enjoy it!”
