Design
CPTED
The development was constructed from the ground up by Borton Construction INC., a local company, providing expertise and commitment in the 5th Ward Residences project. The design consists of 2 five-story, 84,000 sq ft. 72- unit apartment buildings offering units ranging from studios to two-bedroom, two-bath units. They feature at grade enclosed and heated parking on the 1st level with a pet grooming, bike repair and storage area. In addition, an activity center with conference rooms, office space for rent, community gathering space and fitness room along with an outdoor courtyard and basketball court. 5th Ward Residences combines modern apartment living with a focus on community and resident well-being, offering a range of features and services to meet the diverse needs and preferences of its residents.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) was an important aspect to consider when designing the exteriors of the 5th Ward Residences. CPTED principles were incorporated to enhance safety, reduce crime, and create a welcoming and secure environment for residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
• Natural surveillance was created by the design of the balconies for clear sightliness.
• Clear and defined entrances were included to discourages unauthorized access.
• Territorial reinforcement with signage and maintained landscaping was added to the final details.

Sustainability
When it comes to sustainability very few principles are more important to us than the impact of the local factor. Be it local sourced materials, local produced products, local jobs or supporting good pay jobs growth! This is our commitment to using all La Crosse based businesses in this development; we are committed to keeping it local. Our vision is compatible with the City of La Crosse and La Crosse County Strategic Plan for sustainability. Our team focused on many strategic sustainable methods in this development including: •
Creating a tight building envelope that uses best practices for lower energy consumption, utilizes sustainable high quality materials, and energy efficient designs. • Creating an environment that highlights and respects our natural resources and is designed in a method that connects people to the resource. • Storm water retention and management that will manage the water on-site. • Landscaping will use native plants and provides a food source for both people and wildlife. • Building design will utilize natural light to create more creature comfort and reduction in energy needs. • It is the intent of this project to create a healthy living model with close access to pedestrian resources such as the marsh, bluffs, and local parks. • Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions was the 1st multi-family property owner in La Crosse to go “smoke free”. The 5th Ward Residence is smoke free as well. • A plan with the City of La Crosse is in place to connect the 5th Ward Residences development and the Lower Northside neighborhood to the marsh trails from Red Cloud park. This connector will allow residents in the neighborhood to access UW-La Crosse and downtown Riverside Park without having to cross a road by using existing trails.
