Project Profiles

Riverside Center I & II










200,000 square feet
Cost: $31 Million
Project Length: 12 months
Architect: Somerville Architects

C.D. Smith Construction provided turnkey design/build services for Riverside Center I & II, home to the corporate headquarters of rapidly growing Logistics Health, Inc. (LHI), and Business Objects.

The project included working with the city of La Crosse Redevelopment Authority and other city officials to deliver a time sensitive historically modeled building utilizing local subcontractors and native products in the delivery of a successful project.

Each element of the buildings, down to the brick and mortar, was chosen to blend with the historic downtown La Crosse community. The buildings stand not only as a symbol of the growth and technology of the area, but also representative of La Crosse’s unique history. Everything from woodwork and stains to brick and stone were chosen to blend with the century-old buildings in downtown La Crosse. Finishes from around the globe, including Spain and Italy for light fixtures, China for marble columns and a fountain, and Mexico and India for marble and granite flooring all lend to these beautiful masterpieces.
