Bachmann Construction Completes Colony Brands Design Center, Monroe

Bachmann Construction, Madison, has completed the 134,000 square foot Colony Brands Design Center in Monroe, with Studio 26 being the final phase. Studio 26 houses creative marketing services, plus photo and print production teams in studios for multi-channel creative and marketing production. Studio 26, named after the founding date of Colony Brands in 1926, centralizes the artistic teams which have been located in separate buildings throughout the Monroe area.

Studio 26 represents the third expansion Bachmann Construction has completed since 2013 when Colony Brands, one the world’s largest internet and catalog companies, bought a vacated Walmart store in Monroe to create its new Design Center. Three years ago, Bachmann Construction remodeled the store into Colony Brands warehouse space. Last year, Bachmann added a 30,000 square foot addition to bring 130 employees involved in digital and print production under one roof. Bachmann also recently completed a parking area for 280 cars.

Colony Brands headquarters is about 1.5 miles from the Design Center.

Both Colony Brands and Bachmann Construction are Wisconsin-based family- owned businesses. Bachmann is celebrating its 61st anniversary and Colony Brands is celebrating 90 years.
