1st Place: Phoenix Park pharmacy building
2nd Place: Mabel Tainter expansion
3rd Place: Water Street Commons (formerly Kerm’s)

Even though we’ve already had three years of Phoenix Park, we still just can’t stop being enamored with it. It’s like a beacon of awesome, and with it other developments have come to downtown Eau Claire. Your votes suggest that the newest of which is up to snuff. The Midelfort Pharmacy and Home Medical building in North Barstow’s Redevelopment District opened up its super-convenientness just a few months ago, immediately followed by Isabelle & Company clothing boutique next door. A true landmark to Menomonie’s arts scene, the Mabel Tainter Theater, placed a close second in your votes after opening its renovated doors this spring. Surprisingly, due to the hubbub about Kerm’s closing, the Water Street commons development placed third and seemingly won over your hesitant hearts. – Trevor Kupfer
