On August 18, the City Council approved release of a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSOQ) for an Affordable Housing Development upon the property. The RFSOQ was sent to ten (10) local developers on August 21 and noticed in the newspaper on September 3 and September 10. On October 3, the City received one (1) Statement of Qualification (SOQ), from team of C&M Home Builders & Real Estate (C&M) and Capital Investment Partners, LLC (CapVest). This team recently delivered the Estover Terrace subdivision on 11th Avenue E. and 18th Street SE. A copy of their SOQ is attached hereto. Due to the limited response, City Staff spoke with two of the non-responding developers to see what changes would entice them to respond. They both indicated that they would prefer to develop multiple-family rental units rather than single family homes for sale. City staff recommend revising and reissuing the Affordable Housing Development RFSOQ at a later date. If the City Council concurs, the appropriate motion would be to Reject the Affordable Housing Development Statement of Qualification (simple majority). 1  STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS Affordable Housing Development – City of Menomonie, WI C&M Home Builders & Real Estate • Capital Investment Partners, LLC October 3, 2025 1. Cover Letter David Schofield, P.E. Director of Public Works City of Menomonie 800 Wilson Avenue Menomonie, WI 54751 Dear Mr. Schofield and Members of the Ad Hoc Housing Committee, On behalf of C&M Home Builders & Real Estate (C&M) and Capital Investment Partners, LLC (CIP), we are pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications for the Affordable Housing Development opportunity located on Lot 1 of Certified Survey Map #4967. Both of our organizations share the City of Menomonie’s vision: to create a high-quality, sustainable, affordable owner-occupied and multifamily housing community that fosters neighborhood character, community amenities, and long-term homeowner investment. With decades of combined experience in Western Wisconsin—and a proven track record of working with the City of Menomonie—we are uniquely positioned to bring this project from vision to reality. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the City on this community that will not only deliver affordability, but will also establish a model for sustainable, community-oriented homeownership in the Chippewa Valley. Sincerely, Cody Filipczak & Molly Reijo – Principals, C&M Home Builders & Real Estate Bill Albright, Trevor Bohland, & Paul Madsen – Principals, Capital Investment Partners, LLC 2. Developer Team & Key Principals C&M Home Builders & Real Estate Founded in 2005 by Cody Filipczak and Molly Reijo, C&M has built over 1,500 single-family and twin homes across the Chippewa Valley, including 39 units in Menomonie since 2021. C&M is recognized for delivering quality, affordable homes with durable construction and modern layouts. In 2024, Cody launched The Cove, an 87-lot manufactured housing community in Eau Claire. Though successful, it revealed financing barriers for HUD homes without land ownership. This experience led C&M to pivot toward CrossMod housing to combine affordability with financing accessibility. Capital Investment Partners, LLC Capital Investment Partners, LLC was founded in 2007 by William (Bill) Albright and Paul Madsen, and joined by Trevor Bohland in 2019. The company has developed, constructed, and managed over 300 housing units in Menomonie. Projects include the downtown Cobblestone Hotel and Estover Terrace, both supported by City partnerships through TIF. CapVest manages over 1,400 multifamily units and constructs an average of 100 new units annually. The leadership team brings broad expertise: - Bill Albright: 23+ years in construction/real estate, oversight of more than $475 million in projects nationally. - Trevor Bohland: CEO with 24 years in banking, former President/CEO of United Bank. - Paul Madsen: Co-founder, entrepreneur, and President of RainMaster Lawn Systems. 3. Experience in Menomonie & Western Wisconsin C&M has delivered 39 homes in Menomonie since 2021. CapVest has completed several Menomonie projects, including the Cobblestone Hotel and Estover Terrace, both involving successful partnerships with the City. Together, the team has extensive experience with the region’s housing needs, municipal processes, and affordability challenges. 4. Experience with Project Pillars Affordable: C&M has consistently delivered homes targeted to workforce and first-time buyers. Our CrossMod strategy maintains affordability while enabling conventional mortgage financing. Community-Oriented: Past projects emphasize walkability, streetscapes, porches, and trails. The proposed plan includes trails, tree-lined streets, and green space. Sustainable: Both companies have experience with HOA structures, restrictive covenants, and energy-efficient construction practices. Owner-Occupied: C&M specializes in owner-occupied models. The CrossMod approach ensures permanence, mortgage financing access, and long-term neighborhood stability. 5. Conceptual Layout (Preliminary) Our Preliminary Conceptual Master Plan illustrates an early vision for Lot 1 of CSM #4967. This plan is conceptual only and will be refined in collaboration with the City of Menomonie. The current plan features: - Approximately 49 single-family lots, each averaging 75' x 150'. - Approximately 4.5 acres of multi-family residential. - Tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and front-porch design elements. - Preservation of wetlands and wooded areas, with walking trails and the potential for a nature trail or boardwalk. - Homes priced for households at or below 80% of Area Median Income. This preliminary concept reflects the City’s Project Pillars while maintaining flexibility for final design and permitting. 6. Development Timeline & Readiness The development team is prepared to meet the City’s outlined schedule: - Option agreement by December 31, 2025. - Land sale and start of construction by September 1, 2026. - Completion of all residential units will be subject to market demand & absorption. C&M and Capital Investment Partners have the organizational capacity, financial strength, and established trade partners to deliver this project on schedule. 7. Conclusion & Contacts The partnership of C&M and Capital Investment Partners combines proven local development experience, financial capacity, and a commitment to affordability and sustainability. Together, we are ready to partner with the City of Menomonie to deliver a transformative new housing community.
