Racine County continues to stand out as a hub for impactful development, with several local projects recognized by the Milwaukee Business Journal as finalists in its 2026 Real Estate Awards for New Construction. Selected from a record number of nominations, these projects highlight the innovation, collaboration, and investment shaping the region’s future.
Below are the Racine County projects that made the list:
Ranked #6 on the list, the new Woodman’s Food Market represents a major addition to Racine County’s retail landscape and a large-scale redevelopment of the former Regency Mall site, now known as Pritchard Park. The 240,000-square-foot grocery store, along with its fuel center and automotive services, has transformed an underutilized property into a high-performing commercial destination. The project’s size and complexity required extensive coordination, ultimately delivering a key anchor for continued economic activity in the area.
Coming in at #8, the new 42,000-square-foot headquarters for Educators Credit Union delivers both strong visibility and a modern, employee-focused environment along the I-94 corridor. The three-story facility features collaborative workspaces, wellness amenities, and a campus-style setting designed to support growth and innovation. Completed on an accelerated timeline, the project reflects ECU’s long-term vision and expanding presence in Racine County.
Ranked #28, this 70,000-square-foot facility in Caledonia represents a transformative investment in a more compassionate and effective juvenile justice system. Designed with a trauma-informed approach, the center integrates education, mental health services, recreation, and career development opportunities. Supporting up to 48 youth, the $52 million project sets a new standard for rehabilitation-focused care in Wisconsin.
At #29 on the list, the new Schulte School is a 167,000-square-foot K-8 campus built as part of Racine Unified School District’s long-term facility improvements. Featuring 43 classrooms, maker spaces, technical education labs, and expanded arts and fitness areas, the school supports both academic achievement and hands-on skill development. The project reflects a continued commitment to preparing students for future success.
