A two-story professional office condominium will soon
be built on the east side of Hwy. 35 North next to Arrow
Building Center.
Earth moving and other site preparations have been
underway for two weeks.
The new structure will be called Valley View Office
Condominium Building.
The 30,000-square foot building will serve as corporate
headquarters for the local firm of K&S Developers.
Since February K&S has been leasing space at the
River Center, 215 N. Second St.
K&S is owned by River Falls natives, Chris Kusilek
and Mark Sylla.
K&S is a land developing company. Recent residential
developments by the company include Boulder Ridge, east
of the hospital; and High View Meadows, east of River
Falls Golf Course.
K&S co-owner Chris Kusilek also runs F&K Excavating,
141 Hwy. 35N. Sylla, Kusilek’s partner, also has
his own business: EW Homes.
Besides housing K&S, the new Valley View Office
Condominium will have space for five professional business
tenants. No space has been leased yet.
“We feel there is an ongoing demand for this
type of space,” K&S General Manager Mike Turner
said. “And there is certainly high visibility
being on Highway 35.”
Valley View is being designed by the local firm of
Frisbie Architects.
The new building will have a brick-and-glass facade,
metal roof and first-floor main entrance from the west
parking lot and a second-floor main entrance from the
east parking lot.
Construction is expected to begin this fall, proceed
during the winter and be done by spring or summer.
Part of the construction project also involves adding
more parking spaces next door for NMC employees.
NMC, 186 County Road U, is located in the brick building
that once held Farm Credit Services (today called AgStar
Financial Services). It’s just north of the Valley
View Office construction site.
Hudson-based NMC runs six Midwestern nuclear power
plants, including Prairie Island in Red Wing, Minn.
Earlier this year NMC signed an 18-month lease with
K&S for the 26,000-square foot building.
