The new Kendal Lofts project has caused some issues for drivers.
Construction of the Kendal Lofts project on the corner of West and Main in downtown Waukesha, which had stalled last January, now crosses into the street. Drivers must attempt to maneuever the orange barrels that line the two-way Main Street as they turn onto West Street from Wisconsin Avenue. The Main Street bars will see a bustle of activity for St. Patrick's Day, so the construction may become an issue if it's as busy as expected. When the Waukesha Plan Commission approved the development of the 42-unit apartment building, it was met with concerns about the lack of parking availability in that area. Although construction on the project had stalled, the opening is now scheduled for the summer of 2013.

The Kendal Lofts development is stalled due to sale of property, according to Waukesha Now article.
Plans for a 42-unit apartment building may have come to a halt because of issues with the sale of the property. A property owner on the west end of downtown Waukesha that would have to sell the property in order to make Kendal Lofts a reality has withdrawn from the sales agreement, according to an article in Waukesha Now. The Waukesha Plan Commission approved the project in mid-December despite some concerns from area business owners about parking. The four-story building had apartment units on the top three floors with parking located on the first level. The building was proposed for 456 W. Main St.

Building will be located along the Fox River.
A developer received approval Wednesday night from the Waukesha Plan Commission to construct a 42-unit apartment building at 456 W. Main St. The Kendal Lofts are proposed to be located along the Fox River on the west end of downtown Waukesha. The project has met with some criticism and concerns about parking availability in the downtown area, while others have publicly supported the project. The first floor of the four-story building is parking and the next three floors are for apartment units. The original plans called for underground parking, which was not feasible because of flooding concerns given the proximity of the Fox River. The plans involve razing the vacant building that previously housed O’Brien Photography. Minor changes were …

But parking concerns were brought forward by area merchants.
Preliminary plans for a 42-unit apartment building were approved Wednesday night by the Waukesha Plan Commission after a robust period of public discussion and commentary about the project that is projected for the west end of downtown Waukesha. Comments ranged from urging the Plan Commission to approve a high quality project and bring young professionals to downtown Waukesha to concerns from area merchants about the size of the building, parking and questioning why the building didn’t have retail spaces on the first floor. Other comments critiquing the project questioned the need for more apartments downtown. The first floor of the four-story building is parking and the next three floors are for apartment units. The original plans called …

There is a thing called underground parking!! Not so sure why this is bad? Oh, and by the way you are really going to complain about construction barrels in the road. That must be sooooooo inconvenient for you. I think the goal here is to make downtown Waukesha a bright, busy, urban, exciting, and trendy place. A destination... if you will. Instead of complaining about luxury apartments going up… more ›
