Apex Real Estate Holdings and Walter Wayne Development are seeking to double the size of a proposed five-story apartment building on University Avenue almost a year after the project received city approval, the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
The original plans would have replaced a pair of commercial buildings between 3535 and 3553 University Avenue near Hilldale with 71 apartments, 76 covered parking stalls and around 1,400 square feet of commercial space.
The development team, which has now reached an agreement with a neighboring property owner to acquire two single-family houses on North Meadow Lane, is now bringing a new proposal before the city. Plans include a six-story, 146-unit building with 166 parking stalls and 4,000 square feet of commercial space.
The project overall would increase from 67,000 square feet to 115,800 square feet. The new proposal features around 89 studio units, 46 one-bedroom units and 11 two-bedroom units. The first floor would house a fitness area and sauna. The top floor would include a solarium/sunroom and lounge with a full kitchen. There would also be a rooftop pool.
