73-Unit Apartment Waukesha Building On Council Agenda

WAUKESHA, WI—The Waukesha Common Council will consider a proposed 73-unit apartment building at the corner of Barstow and Buena Vista on Jan. 4, according to online city documents.

The city worked with Community Design Solutions to develop concepts of how the excess City Hall property could be developed.

The Plan Commission and Redevelopment Authority met and forwarded a recommendation that the parcel be combined with the privately-owned parcel at the corner of North St. and Barstow to allow for an apartment building, the documents said.

The Council asked the staff to work with the owner of the neighboring property, Alan Huelsman with Berg Management, to create a conceptual development plan for the two properties.

Huelsman is proposing to purchase the property or $300,000 and estimating the need for $3 million dollars in tax incremental financing (TIF) assistance, the documents said.
