Northwestern Bank

Hoeft Builders has been a proud general contractor partner of Northwestern Bank for over a decade.

Background

Northwestern Bank is a locally owned community bank that has been serving western Wisconsin for over 120 years through its seven locations across the Chippewa Valley. Hoeft and Northwestern Bank began working together in 2016 with the ground-up construction of their office in Altoona, Wisconsin.

On Working with Hoeft

In reflecting on their work with us, President Jerry Jacobson stated, "I need to give credit where credit is due. Hoeft has been a great partner of ours. They made the building process fun, and they anticipated every need throughout the project. The branch turned out perfect for our needs now and in the future. Thank you, Hoeft Builders, for a job well done."

Project Spotlight

Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

In 2023, Hoeft partnered with Evolve Architects to revitalize Northwestern Bank’s downtown Chippewa Falls office, modernizing the existing building and reimagining the floor plan to enhance the overall banking experience. Completed in phases to keep the branch fully operational throughout construction, the project balanced progress with minimal disruption to daily banking operations.

Key Updates:

  • A reconfigured lobby and teller line designed to improve customer flow, accessibility, and the overall in-branch experience
  • Additional private offices with large interior windows to create an open feel while maintaining privacy and supporting a range of client interactions
  • A bright, refreshed interior featuring updated casework, trim work, paint, lighting, and flooring to create a polished, welcoming environment for both customers and staff
