224-Unit Apartment Building Project Proposed for Waukesha

A Waukesha County realty company is looking to build a 224-unit apartment complex on the east side of Waukesha.

The Broadway Commons would be located at 1910 E. Broadway, northeast of the Highway 164 and East Broadway intersection. The Waukesha Plan Commission is being asked by Morgenson Realty Company to approve the conceptual plans for the housing complex during its meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The project includes four 19,185-square-foot 50-unit buildings, two 9,900-square-foot 12-unit buildings and a 2,734-square-foot clubhouse, according to a project proposal submitted to the City of Waukesha Department of Community Development.

The apartments will be two bedroom, one bedroom and efficiency units. The 50-unit buildings will have underground parking and the 12-unit buildings will have garages, which means there will be 236 covered spaces. An additional parking lot will have 242 spaces, according to the document.

The plans call for the first phase of the building to be constructed in spring 2013, which includes two 50-unit buildings, the 12-unit buildings and the clubhouse. The second and third phase of construction is dependent on build out and occupancy, the document states.

The vacant 19-acre property previously was owned by Bielinski Homes, according to The Business Journal.
