The best construction partnerships are built long before a project is complete. Successful developments rely on clear communication, proactive planning, and a team that understands the owner’s goals from preconstruction through occupancy. When those relationships are strong, they often lead to future opportunities and continued investment in the communities they serve.

Village 43 reflects that approach. Developed by F Street Development, designed by RINKA+, and engineered by Pinnacle Engineering Group, the completed 203,000 SF market-rate community introduced eight garden-style townhome apartment buildings and resident amenities while supporting the continued revitalization of downtown Brown Deer.

Greenfire provided construction management services from preconstruction through final completion, working closely with the project team to coordinate phased construction, site logistics, infrastructure, utilities, and turnover sequencing. Delivering the clubhouse first and completing residential buildings in planned phases supported leasing activities while construction continued, requiring consistent collaboration among the owner, design team, trade partners, and municipal stakeholders.

Village 43 also represents the continued growth of Greenfire’s relationship with F Street Development and RINKA+. Since completing the community, the team has partnered again on The Axis Apartments in West Allis, demonstrating the value of established relationships built on trust, communication, and consistent project delivery.

Brown Deer remains an important part of that story. Greenfire recently completed Woodale Crossing nearby and is currently providing construction management services for Riverside Landing, another redevelopment that continues the Village’s investment in new housing and long-term economic growth.

As communities throughout southeastern Wisconsin continue to expand their housing options, repeat partnerships with owners and design teams demonstrate the importance of delivering projects with transparency, collaboration, and dependable execution from start to finish.

Construction continues at The Axis Apartments in West Allis, WI, where Greenfire is managing work across multiple building types simultaneously for developer F Street. The development brings 147 new residential units to the former St. Aloysius Church site. The project includes 42 garden-style townhome units and a 105-unit midrise building along Greenfield Avenue.

Greenfire joined the project early during preconstruction, working alongside F Street and project architect RINKA+ to align design, cost, schedule, procurement, and phased construction planning. The project continues a strong working relationship between Greenfire, F Street, and RINKA+, following completion of Village 43 in Brown Deer, WI.

Current activity includes construction of the elevator tower for the four-story, 133,875 SF midrise building, with framing work scheduled to follow. At the townhome buildings, vertical construction is nearing completion. Final roofing is beginning in the coming weeks before crews transition into interior construction on the two buildings, which total 51,712 SF. Work on the townhomes and the midrise building continues concurrently, requiring detailed coordination across trades, deliveries, sequencing, and site logistics.

The project site presents challenges common with infill development, including limited staging areas, coordination along an active corridor, and maintaining efficient movement of labor and materials while multiple structures are under construction. Greenfire continues managing procurement, long-lead materials, utility coordination, and phased scheduling to maintain progress across the site.

Once complete, The Axis Apartments will include underground parking, community amenities, outdoor and rooftop gathering spaces, fitness areas, and a mix of residential unit options designed to support continued housing growth in West Allis.

Progress remains steady at the Axis Apartments, a new multi-family development at 92nd and Greenfield in West Allis. Developed by F Street, the project replaces the former St. Aloysius Church site with new housing through a two-phase plan. Phase 1 introduces 42 garden-style units, while Phase 2 adds a 105-unit midrise building along Greenfield Avenue. The development is designed to transition from lower-density buildings to higher-density housing along the corridor, supporting infill growth in a developing area.

Greenfire joined the project during preconstruction, working with F Street and design partners to align design, cost, and schedule. This early involvement established a clear path for procurement, permitting, and phased construction. The team continues to coordinate with project architect RINKA+ and trade partners, managing long-lead materials and sequencing work across both phases to maintain progress.

Current work is focused on site preparation, grading, and underground infrastructure. Crews are advancing footings, foundation walls, and below-grade mechanical systems, followed by slab-on-grade placement and framing activities. Coordination efforts include utility connections, building pads, and delivery of structural components to support vertical construction. This phased approach allows work to move forward across multiple areas of the site while maintaining alignment with the overall schedule.

The full scope includes sitework, utilities, structural systems, building enclosures, MEPFP systems, and interior build-outs. Units will include a mix of layouts, with garden-style residences offering private entries and the midrise building providing underground parking and shared spaces.

As construction continues through 2026 and 2027, Greenfire will focus on maintaining coordination across trades, managing sequencing between phases, and supporting F Street’s goals for delivery and occupancy.
