Featured Projects
===================
Completed Projects
Project Name: Scottsdale Project
Location: Chicago, IL
• 8,000 sf – Addition • 13,000 sf – Addition • 28,000 sf – New Construction As well as retail space additions, The Redmond Company built a new two-story professional building with tenant improvements for medical, office, and kidney dialysis tenants. Redmond assisted the developer in due diligence including preparing pre-construction and construction schedules to facilitate the timing of the Lowes site turnover, and prepared budget updates to ensure the economic viability of the project. The Redmond Company team coordinated the demolition of one third of a shopping center and subsequently re-located numerous tenants to new buildings. The Redmond Company also worked with the developer customer to expedite the TIF and other requirements.

Project Name: JCPenney Store
Location: Menomonee Falls, WI
Converted from an old Walmart, this JCPenney included a full interior and selected exterior demolition. New finishes were used both inside and out to convert the existing building to match the new JCPenney’s prototype design. We helped the JCPenney designers clear many obstacles with how to cost-effectively adapt the existing building to the new prototype. In addition, Redmond made many successful design changes on the fly to enable JCPenney to roll out a new merchandising concept just a few weeks before opening.

Project Name: Johnson Bank

The Redmond Company provided construction services for this long-standing client. This two-story building is LEED certified through the use of sustainable design, recycled materials, and a construction waste management plan.

Project Name: Port Washington State Bank
Location: Cedarburg, WI
The Redmond Company provided design and construction services for interior and exterior renovations.

Project Name: Omni Community Credit Union
Location: Oshtemo, MI
The Redmond Company provided design and construction services for this new branch. The branch was designed with many architectural elements found at the main office, to create a branding theme. This branch is Redmond's second project with Omni.

Project Name: PyraMax Bank
Location: Milwaukee, WI
The project involved the interior remodeling of a building in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. The Redmond Company’s design team incorporated the building’s heavy-timber structure and “cream city” brick walls into the layout, preserving the open warehouse feel to the space.

Project Name: Walgreens - Main & Hwy 151
Location: Fond du Lac, WI
The Redmond team relocated this successful area Walgreens. The store was built through winter because of the length of time it took to remove the contaminated soils that were left from the previous auto maintenance shop. Just when the project was wrapping up, and Walgreens was preparing to move in, the Church next door burned down. The opening of the store was delayed because the remaining church steeple posed a safety hazard. Except for soot, there was no damage to the store. Walgreens moved in and the location was a huge success.

Project Name: Walgreens - Oakland & Locust
Location: Milwaukee, WI
This store features a non-prototypical design to fit within its “urban-edge” setting. The design for this location underwent an extensive approval process through the city. 2007 Mayor's Urban Design Award Winner

Project Name: Staybridge Suites Hotel
Location: Franklin, WI
The Redmond Company (TRC) began working with the owner as their development manager during the due diligence and pre-design phases. To minimize project costs, TRC’s involvement included guiding the Owner’s project team through challenges such as environmental, legal, and contaminated soils issues. By working closely with the municipality during the pre-construction phase of the project, TRC understood and planned for the extra steps the municipality required. Because the hotel is located within an environmental corridor as well as a Planned Development District, TRC needed to address wetlands, navigable stream and floodplain issues, Department of Transportation requirements, as well as re-zoning and lengthy municipal review processes. Part of the solution to these complicated site issues was the use of an eco-pave system for the parking lot, which eliminated the need for on-site stormwater detention. TRC evaluated multiple structural systems for the building and their associated costs prior to design implementation and bidding. A factor affecting the selection of the structural system was the need to work through a Wisconsin winter while minimizing the cost impact to the project of enclosures and temporary heat. The solution agreed upon was the utilization of a new, cutting-edge, light-gauge steel framing system. TRC is proud to be one of the first companies to use this technology in the state of Wisconsin. Also, by using a flooring system that achieved the required sound transmission and fire rating without the need for a topping slab, TRC was able to reduce the time required to complete the structural frame and deck on each level. This further reduced costs. Because of TRC’s early involvement, ability to fill multiple roles during pre-construction, and close coordination with all members of the project team, The Redmond Company was able to meet the Owner’s needs and expectations, assure flag standards were honored and adhered to, and deliver a project that satisfies the community’s vision for its future development. Amenities of the five story, 118-suite, extended-stay hotel include a library, theater, fireplace, swimming pool, whirlpool, and courtyard.

Brad Quade, President Johnson Bank
“We've used The Redmond Company for many branch developments and have found them to be a high-integrity firm, delivering a high-quality product. And while they are very experienced in building banking facilities, they have also demonstrated sensitivity to our unique needs - not assuming we want to mirror what others in our industry are doing. I would highly recommend them as a design/build partner.”
