Phase 1 of Woodland Crest, located in the heart of a rapidly growing area in Waunakee, Wisconsin, consists of 2 mixed-use commercial buildings. Sitting between a future grocery store and multi-family housing, this development hosts multiple restaurants such as Noodles & Company and Eno Vino Wine Bar & Bistro and retail/service tenants including Sherwin Williams, Sport Clips Haircuts, Shopko Optical, and Aurora Veterinary Care. The Noodles & Company restaurant features a drive-through order area while both restaurants have exterior patio seating for customers to use on nice days. With decorative brick and stone exteriors, contrasted by manufactured wood and metal siding, this building presents a bold appearance.

Phase II of Woodland Crest features a Starbucks, US Cellular, and a Dental Office in this highly sought after location. After demolishing the existing buildings on the site, new construction was off to a quick start. To offset lumber shortages for wood framed panels, our Building Information Modeling and Prefabricating Department designed the plans to fabricate these panels in our Equipment & Distribution Center. This single-story building features a brick and stone exterior, accented by white wood-grain siding, black metal fascia, and aluminum storefronts. Accommodating three unique tenants, each store required strict design criteria and standards, resulting in high coordination between the architect, construction team, MEP subcontractors, tenants, and the building’s owner.

After our client negotiated the purchase of a carve-out site within the parking lot of the Wisconsin Trade Center, a previous construction project of ours, Kraemer Brothers was asked to build a new, multi-tenant retail and office building with Robertson Cosmetic Center as the primary tenant. Kraemer Brothers was able to provide significant preconstruction and design input to ensure the project’s success before breaking ground. This beautiful 30,000 square foot, two-story, brick and EIFS building with underground parking sits alongside nearly 20 other construction project that we have completed in this prestigious area of Middleton since 1990. Following completion in January 2017, we completed Robertson Cosmetic Center’s build-out by March 2017. Other tenants in this building include Studio 262 Salon, Campfire Pediatric Dentistry, T-Mobile, Wisconsin Commercial Real Estate, Kraemer Development, and one retail space available for lease.

Over a decade after constructing the landmark, 11-building, 35-store Greenway Station retail center for RED Development in Middleton, the company selected us to return and construct an additional building to match the signature style of the development. Kraemer Brothers’ craftsmen installed the unique combination of high-end brick, stone and slate that was specified by RED for the one-story facility, located on the northeast corner of Greenway Blvd and Deming Way, with Noodles & Co. and another tenant as yet to be determined.

Our first project with Kraemer Development proved to be very rewarding. This innovated new retail building located on the southern edge of Greenway station lifestyle center in Middleton accommodates three uniquely different tenants: the World of Beer tap house, Dickey’s Barbeque Pit and Frostwood Farms Kitchen. As a result, the building required a high degree of coordination between the city, the architect, construction team, the tenants, and the building’s owner to meet everyone’s objectives. Each tenant had different mechanical systems and branding standards, so the interior finishes, furnishings, and design were vastly different from each other. This handsome building features brick, stone, EIFS, wood siding, cedar trim, corbels, and an outdoor patio. Eight years later, all three tenants still reside in the building.

In the late summer of 2013, Kraemer Brothers hit the ground running by pouring foundations and completing the new CarMax facility’s site work within three weeks of receiving the final budget. With only eight months from start to completion, the high-technology automobile showroom and state-of-the-art service department is one of the speediest projects we’ve completed — despite one of the coldest winters in years.

The dealership is located off the Madison Beltline where we constructed an innovative underground storm water retention system that captures and stores runoff in large steel pipes. This meant no reduction in surface parking (and no unattractive open pond). The building’s complex electric system was essential to the high-tech communications system for new technologies that enhance the car-buying experience. During their first walk-through at the completed facility, CarMax corporate personnel remarked that our performance was superior to any other contractor the corporation had used throughout the nation.
