#BuildersOfTheFuture
For the past 11 years, the Forest County Potawatomi has been renovating its Wgema Campus – formerly Concordia College’s campus – on Milwaukee’s West Side, and now the last buildings on the site are getting attention. Read Bobby’s full article here.
Greenfire was named #14 on the Milwaukee Business Journal’s list of Largest Milwaukee-Area Construction Firms. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our clients and partners for giving us the opportunity to excel in this competitive and skilled industry. A special recognition also goes out to our team. We understand the industry is still bouncing back from the challenges of the pandemic and to see our firm consistently ranked as a top construction company in Milwaukee means we have a talented group of professionals. Thank you for all you do to make us who we are and for your commitment to being the builders of the future.
Two of our projects were recently selected as winners for The Daily Reporter’s Top Projects of 2021. The Forest County Potawatomi Community Center and Waukesha City Hall were selected after much deliberation by a panel of local real estate experts. The publication received over 100 nominations for the awards which recognize the most outstanding projects completed last year in Wisconsin.
An awards ceremony will be held on May 11th to recognize all of the winners and tell the stories of how the projects came to be, and the challenges the teams had to overcome. Profiles for each project will also be published in a special edition.
The Forest County Potawatomi Community Center is new construction of a 110,000 SF recreation and wellness center on the Forest County Potawatomi Reservation in Crandon. The Community Center is a result of years of planning, hard work and determination with a variety of special materials, features, and native cultural influence.
Waukesha City Hall is new construction of a 55,000 SF structural steel government building constructed at the crest of a 30-foot hill and sits 11 feet from the existing City Hall. This was a multi-phase project which consisted of new building construction, the addition of a skywalk over North Avenue, demolition of the existing City Hall, and subsequent site landscaping.
We are proud to have two cornerstone projects like these in our portfolio, especially one that we built for our owner, the Forest County Potawatomi. We would like to thank all of our project partners for the amazing opportunity to build these award-winning projects!
For the fifth year in a row, Greenfire was named by Midwest Real Estate News Magazine in their Top Construction Companies list. Each year, the publication honors the top commercial real estate and construction companies in a nine-state proximity for their year-end Best of the Best feature. This year, we came in as the #41 construction company in the Midwest, up eleven spots from the previous year. We are proud to be included as a top midwestern construction company alongside other notable Midwest firms and continue to pursue our vision to be a recognized leader in optimizing construction solutions.
Several Milwaukee executives and community leaders participated in a speed donut-eating competition this week to raise funds for the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County.
What was once the last vestige of a defunct Wisconsin industry — greyhound racing — is being redeveloped into an unusual mix of environmentally sustainable light industrial buildings, apartments and retail space.
