Commercial space is filling up at the mixed-use Prairie’s Edge development on Port Washington’s lakefront

First pitched in 2017 by Milwaukee-based development and investment firm Black Cap Halcyon, the project will develop approximately 36 acres of vacant land — generally located southeast of Lake Shore Road and Wisconsin Street, south of downtown Port Washington — with a variety of residential units and commercial buildings.

Black Cap Halcyon announced this week that boutique wealth management firm Portside Investment Advisors will open a 1,400-square-foot office at the development, moving from its current office in Mequon.

“The addition of Portside Investment Advisors enhances the development’s professional landscape, offering residents direct access to expert wealth management services in an inspiring environment,” Black Cap Halcyon said in a press release.

“We look forward to providing individuals and organizations in Port Washington and the surrounding communities with comprehensive, results-focused investment strategies that enable long-term success,” said Mike Holloway, principal at Portside Investment Advisors.

Portside Investment Advisors will join Lakeside Alliance Church, which moved into a 5,100-square-foot adjacent space in May.

Black Cap Halcyon will soon be starting construction on the second commercial building, which is 7,500 square feet and will be occupied by Thrive Fitness & Therapy, which will conclude the development’s commercial space.

Elsewhere on the site, the firm has already sold 19 single family homes with eight lots still remaining, and 16 single family homes for rent of which three have been leased. Black Cap Halcyon started construction in the fall on 10 townhome-style condominiums.
