So you're trying to figure out how to get the new player housing decor item that this quest rewards.

Turns out the entire quest chain required for this is actually gated by yet another series of quests that are seemingly completely unrelated. Basically you need to go to Fort Wryn (/way 69.85 20.81) and speak to [npc=79133]. He asks you what building you want to build. After you select a building, this then leads to another series of quests. Only after completing that series of quests does Sloan McCoy then offer the quest chain you actually need that leads to this quest.

I don't think it matters which building you choose to build.
