After five years of significant growth, Diamond Mowers needed to accelerate and expand their research and manufacturing capacity. The search for an appropriate facility began and a location in Sioux Falls was being considered. Unsure of the true condition of the potential location, Diamond Mowers contacted Lucas Fiegan, AIA of Fiegen Construction and sought the guidance of their facility assessment services.

Its products range from boom mowers and rotary mowers to flail mowers and forestry mulchers.

By Jenny Van Oort on Jun 21, 2018 10:15:00 AM

Cutler Law, one of South Dakota’s premier legal firms, recently hosted a wonderful party — the firm’s well-attended ribbon cutting on May 31, 2018. The event, co-hosted by the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, was a celebration of the official opening of the firm’s brand new headquarters on the fourth floor of the recently renovated Equity Trust Building in downtown Sioux Falls.

Located at 140 North Phillips Avenue, the building is a downtown focal point in South Dakota’s largest city. Fiegen Construction was retained for the project, which called for the renovation of 13,575 square feet of office space, including the entire fourth floor plus 1,475 square feet of space on the third floor. The $1 million project (not including flooring and casework) involved extensive interior remodeling and tenant fit-out for the respected law firm.
