5th Ward Residences, a collaboration with Borton Construction and Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions, LLC, is a transformative two phase market-rate housing development project aimed at positively impacting the Lower Northside/Depot Neighborhood of La Crosse, WI. THE CHALLENGE OUR SOLUTIONS
The 12-acre site of the 5th Ward Residences, once home to Trane Plant 6, faced significant challenges as it transitioned from an industrial facility to a potential redevelopment project. After years of vacancy and multiple failed redevelopment attempts, the site required extensive environmental cleanup due to contaminated soil, along with finding a viable use that aligned with the evolving needs of the community. The neighborhood surrounding the site was characterized by below-average income levels, with 29.2% of the workforce employed in manufacturing and laborer occupations, further complicating the development of a project that would have a meaningful and positive impact on the area.
Recognizing the community’s changing needs, Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions transformed the site into the 5th Ward Residences, a mixed-use development that addresses both environmental and economic challenges. Leveraging federal and state grants for site preparation, as well as Trane’s commitment to funding the environmental cleanup, Three Sixty developed a residential-oriented project that includes market-rate apartments tailored to the needs of the local workforce. The proximity to major employers like Kwik Trip Corporate Office and Manufacturing Facility, along with the integration of infrastructure such as bike lanes and sidewalks, made the 5th Ward Residences an attractive housing option for local employees, contributing to the neighborhood’s economic diversity and overall vibrancy.
