Development

Website Marathon - Bedford - Front.png

To say that S.C. Swiderski has had a busy spring and summer would be an understatement! 2020 has brought immense challenges to both businesses and individuals. During these uncertain times, we have kept our focus on continuing the company’s growth while also keeping our employees safety at the forefront. The company’s commitment to bringing quality, market rate housing to communities who need it most has not wavered. As of July, the development team has received the most project approvals since its inception, which in turn has provided the Construction Production Team with the most simultaneous projects ever! So far in 2020, S.C. Swiderski is finishing construction on Village Estates in Kronenwetter and Westwood Estates in Wausau, and opened buildings at Plover – Willow Estates II and SCS Marshfield Phase I. Development will be delivering six additional projects to construction to break ground on yet this year: River Trail Estates II (Weston), SCS Eau Claire Phase I, SCS Waupaca, SCS Shawano, two single-family homes in Rhinelander, and one single-family home in Sturgeon Bay!

How do we do all of this, you ask? Behind the scenes our development team has been researching and purchasing land, analyzing the unique demographics of each city, meeting with municipal staff to discuss their processes and needs, contracting with engineering teams for civil work, determining the most suitable building style and unit mix for the area, creating lifelike building renderings, finalizing site plans, and finally bringing the project forth for Municipal approval. A big part of our success is due to our ability to design new building types in-house, including our new on-site leasing office.

2021 promises to be even more ambitious for development with a goal of delivering eight more projects to the Construction Production Team! S.C. Swiderski plans to join or expand their presence in communities such as Hortonville, Oshkosh, Merrill, Stanley, Eau Claire, Wausau, Marathon City, and Eagle River - with Madison, Rice Lake, Wittenberg, Black River Falls, and Spencer in the works for future development.

The company’s objective remains clear: Use integrity, experience, and proven approaches in construction and real estate development to deliver quality housing, while embracing our responsibility to our customers. From the very early research and development stages to the delivery of units to our leasing professionals, our main focus is always on what matters most: our future tenants. When you think of S.C. Swiderski, we want you to think of home!

SCS Marshfield - Grand Opening

Hard work has not stopped at S.C. Swiderski! SCS Marshfield is now open! The sun was shining as we gathered on June 22nd to announce our official opening of SCS Marshfield. This project broke ground in June of 2019 making almost 1 year exactly to the Grand Opening - how exciting! Our construction team does a phenomenal job at maintaining their schedules to ensure that we are able to open buildings in a timely manner. We couldn’t do what we do without our entire team.

We want to give a special thank you to the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Bob McManus for assisting us with this event. Thank you to People’s State Bank for proudly financing this project, we appreciate and value the partnerships that we have.

S.C. Swiderski is proud to continue to provide you with high quality multi-family housing projects in your neighborhood. Phase I is currently leasing at 92%. With this being said, we are thrilled to announce that there will be a phase II of this project. Phase II has started and our construction team is well on their way! The team has named Amber as the Project Manager and Becky as the Project Coordinator for Phase II. The same individuals were on Phase I. We are excited to continue this project and be a valued business in the Marshfield community. If you get the chance, be sure to check out this site at 1906 N. Hume Avenue in Marshfield, WI.

Explorers Blog: Graduation & Beyond

S.C. Swiderski embarked on a partnership with Samoset Council, B.S.A. to help young people decide on their future careers. The SCS Exploring Group program provided an opportunity for seven area high school students to explore what it is we do here at S.C. Swiderski via a monthly program designed specifically around their expressed interests. The initial orientation began in November 2019, with the last class taking place in April 2020.

Our Explorers graduated this week! We can’t believe how quickly our classes flew by. This group was ready for anything – whether it was learning about business development, interior design, site planning, maintenance (timed assembly of door locks!), or real estate - they brought their A-game each month and were prepared to participate. The students were also oh-so-gracious when it came to having our last class via an online format.

April’s class topic was: Real Estate. S.C. Swiderski formed a new real estate company earlier this year: SCS Real Estate. We created YouTube videos for the class teaching them the complexities of MLS listings and property data, and how our real estate company ties in with development and our quest for land. The students were asked to find land for us using Zillow.com with specific criteria, explaining why the land would be the perfect site for S.C. Swiderski’s next development. Although this wasn’t our original plan for April, they took it in stride and found some great properties for us to research!

Due to restrictions presented by COVID-19, we were unable to hold the very special graduation ceremony at Urban West planned for May 5th. The Explorers will receive a framed graduation certificate for completing the program, as well as assorted S.C. Swiderski goodies via care package delivered to their doorsteps. We’d like to thank all of the participants for taking time out of their busy schedules to learn. If even one student in this program learned a skill they may want to incorporate into their future plans, we consider that to be a huge success.

A very special thank you to the Samoset Council, B.S.A for their sponsorship of the SCS Exploring Group. We will be partnering together again this fall with even bigger goals! Those students who are not seniors, please consider joining us again in September to sign-up. If you enjoyed these courses, please share with friends and family who may be interested. It was our pleasure getting to know you all, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
