Alexis Steger, City of Dubuque Housing & Community Development Director
“Bayview’s unique vision for its redevelopment project couldn’t have come to fruition without the leadership, skill, and guidance of Horizon’s talented and conscientious development team. With each and every step in the process; from goal setting to partnership selection, design coordination to project financing, Horizon listened with care and consideration, and strategically guided Bayview’s plans. Horizon was focused on making Bayview’s goals and vision a reality and was deeply committed to ensuring our satisfaction. Over the last three years of our ongoing partnership, Horizon staff was available to discuss, strategize, and problem solves, as needed, at every twist and turn in the process. Their team is professional, wise, kind, and unwavering. Bayview’s project is as successful and noteworthy as it is due to our partnership with Horizon.
Having worked so closely with Bayview for several years, Horizon is uniquely positioned to respond to CDA’s Triangle RFQ. They are intimately familiar with the Triangle and Monona Bay Neighborhood Plan, as well as all subsequent discussions regarding the design of the new public road, La Mariposa Lane. Horizon has gained a deep understanding of the complexities and opportunities that come with a full redevelopment of the Triangle neighborhood and their team would be instrumental in planning and coordinating the development of a holistic, inclusive, and well-connected community.”
Alexis London, Executive Director, Bayview
“Using Horizon Construction Group, Inc. and Horizon Management Services, Inc. on the Diamond Ridge project was one of my greatest decisions. As an out-of-state developer, I appreciated Horizon’s local presence to assist with City approvals, meetings, and site due diligence. As contractor and property manager of other Janesville properties, Horizon’s outstanding reputation and similar project experience allowed me to strategically focus on the development related tasks to ensure the project reached its closing. I look forward to working with Horizon on my future projects and would highly recommend them to other clients considering their services.”
Charlie Johnson
Principal, WC Johnson, LLC
“I would like to thank Horizon for their focus on the maintaining the construction schedule and completing our project on time and well under budget. Horizon’s work ethic, experience and integrity determined the great outcome and our satisfaction. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Horizon on any future expansion of our training facilities.”
John Klabacka,
President, Associated Training Center
“Another important element that we worked very hard on with Horizon was to provide jobs to the Tribal membership during the construction phase. Horizon prepared a work force development plan that required all subcontractors on the job to hire Tribal Members and provide training within each trade. During construction, over 42 tribal members were trained and staffed on the project.”
Dennis Kequom,
Tribal Chief, The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan
“I was impressed with Horizon’s ability to manage the entire approval and construction process. Their process oriented approach helped our project through the design and entitlement phases and allowed construction to begin just months from our initial meeting.”
David Lawson,
Owner, Fairway Springs, LLC
“Our company wanted to add a second location and expand into a new market. We contacted Horizon and met with them and provided some general guidelines. Horizon then found us a great location, handled the purchase of the site, and helped us obtain financing. They then helped design our building with great sensitivity to meet our needs and constructed the building without going over budget.”
Bob Tobe,
President, Floor360
“Horizon’s expertise at managing the entire process from initial concept through completion and leasing is a great advantage to use so that we can remain focused on the spiritual needs of the people we serve.”
Sister Mary Celine Stein,
FSSC, President, Franciscan sisters of St. Clare, Inc.
“Horizon also demonstrated their ability to maintain schedule and budget amidst difficult union labor markets. They carried out water resort construction and hotel renovations with the owner’s interest in mind and minimized interruptions to ongoing business operations.”
Mike Hipp,
Hexagon Investments
“Horizon knows how to construct apartment buildings, especially tax credit buildings. They bring a wealth of experience to any developer, and add value to the project.”
Robert B Schwartz,
Manager, Nakoma Development, LLC
“In closing, there is not another group that has successfully completed as many indoor aquatic projects on time and on budget.”
Randal S. Neuman,
President, Neuman Pools Inc.
“One area that I am confident that they will save you significant money on is in the aquatics. Horizon is truly a leader in design and constructing facilities that incorporate aquatics. With my past experience in Beaver Dam, WI for the YMCA of Dodge County, I found out that many of the design firms represent different equipment manufacturers and they often try to write in the specifications of these lines of equipment. Horizon is truly independent and will fight to use the best product for the best situation. In their efforts at our Y they saved us over $100K in value engineering.”
Rob Johnson, Executive Director, Kettle Moraine YMCA
“From the beginning of our preconstruction process, Horizon was responsive to all of our need and goals. Your estimating and project management team provided numerous options and value engineering items that gave us flexibility during project planning and truly added value to the overall project.”
Mary McCully,
Associated Dentists
“Horizon utilized their skills and expertise to enable us to obtain financing, design and complete construction on our $25 million All Saints Campus. The campus includes a 144 unit apartment, 58 bed assisted living, cottages and condos. The projects have always been completed on time and have come in under budget. I have also appreciated Horizon’s leadership, guidance and responsiveness on all issues related to these projects. We couldn’t have completed this project without them.”
Brian Cain,
President, Catholic Charities, Inc.
“Horizon showed their value at the very beginning of the project in assisting us in getting the project within the budget that we had originally set. Through the value engineering process, they were able to bring forth cost savings ideas of $3 million without affecting the integrity of the building design. During construction, Horizon worked hard to find solutions for unexpected situations that arose to avoid using any of the contingency monies that had been set aside.”
Lisa Darnell,
Project/Property Manager, Soaring Eagle Waterpark & Hotel
“Our experience with Horizon has been excellent. As a developer and manager of senior housing, they have worked very well with the City. We’re very pleased with all this new development. We’ve saved 3-4 acres of woodlands which will remain as a natural preserve area. Woodland Ridge is a great asset to the community.”
Timothy T. Seider,
Mayor, Greenfield, WI
“Just this past week, we endured a 3 day OSHA inspection on one of Horizon Constrution Group’s projects, yet we breezed through with zero citations, due to the safety diligence and focus that is a part of the HCG philosophy. This is unheard of on a project of this size and publicity, and is a true testament to the company culture at HCG.”
