New Apartment Plan For 9th Avenue Site

The Business Journal has the story … and the South Milwaukee Plan Commission and City Council will take up the issue at meetings this week.

From the article …

Developer Heitzer Inc., Oconomowoc, has proposed 16 townhouse-style apartment units in South Milwaukee on a 1.5 acre former manufacturing site.

Mike Heitzer, who also has built townhouses in Oak Creek, said he expects to rent the three-bedroom townhouses for $1,100 a month. They are proposed at 909 Menomonee Ave., a vacant site the city owns.

“I don’t think there is a lot that has been built down there, and I think there’s a need for it,” Heitzer said.

Heitzer is seeking city approval for the development plan, and said he wants to start construction as soon as possible if approved.

You will recall another project had been proposed here last year, but the one under consideration now is from a different developer.

I’ll keep you posted.

Here is the Plan Commission agenda, and here is the council agenda.
