The New Year is off to a promising start with strong momentum coming off of 2014. Here are the highlights of our year at Ghidorzi Design Build Develop.

DESIGN BUILD CONSTRUCTION
The Ghidorzi Design Build team of construction, architecture and interior design professionals had a productive year with the completion of the Northcentral Technical College Medford Campus, Mid-State Truck Service in Chippewa Falls, the Woodson YMCA Wausau Branch remodel and addition, and the ongoing expansion of Gordon Aluminum, as well as the many tenant build outs for the Ghidorzi commercial real estate division.

COMMERCIAL LEASE SPACE
We saw strength return to the market in the commercial lease side of our business, and welcomed many new Class A office and retail tenants.  Chris Ghidorzi had the opportunity to showcase greater Wausau at the annual Wisconsin Retail Convention in Milwaukee alongside other major metropolitan markets across the state.  Our 1102 S. Park Street development in Madison, WI was featured in the BMO Harris’ national Corporate Social Responsibility Report in Community Developments to highlight the economic, environmental and human health benefits that can be achieved when the public and private sector collaborate.

HOTEL GROUP
The Ghidorzi Hotel Group achieved new highs in guest satisfaction at our Courtyard by Marriott® of Wausau Hotel where we were #1 in staff service out of 853 Courtyard hotels nationwide with a 97.5% satisfaction rate.  Both the Courtyard and Fairfield Wausau hotels earned the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for being top performing business and leisure hotels as reviewed by travelers on the world’s largest travel site.  Both hotels received comprehensive remodels and are entering the new year with brand new guest rooms.  We worked with many happy couples in 2014, hosting numerous weddings with the Fairfield Wausau hotel earning a Best Reception Site nomination in the Bridal Bug Awards.

GREEN EFFORTS
2014 was a landmark year for Ghidorzi in our green building efforts.  Our 1102 S. Park Street development in Madison earned LEED Certification in support of the U.S. Green Building Alliance mission.  Courtyard Wausau installed a charging station for Tesla brand electric vehicles, bridging the gap for statewide travelers as the only public Tesla station in Central Wisconsin.  In related environmental news, the greater Wausau Community once again provided overwhelming support for the Ghidorzi Green and Clean effort to clean up Wausau and the environment.  More than three hundred volunteers turned out on a chilly morning to pick up enough trash to fill two dumpsters.
