Lots of luxury: East side, 3rd Ward see glut of high-end rental units - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:
soileauifyyfa1786.blogspot.com
Ryan Schultz, a partner at , Glendale, countd at least six new apartment buildings under development and two or three more are in theproposalp stages. Plus, condominium developers and owners are renting an estimated 300 units because of lacklustertcondo sales, adding even more inventoru to an already-saturated market, Schultxz said. Schultz’s analysis of the downtown Milwaukeer apartment market stopped him from constructinyg a multifamily rental buildinv on the banks of the Milwaukese Riverthis year. “We see a surplus of apartments and plan to hold off buildinfin downtown,” Schultz said. While the downtownb apartment market is showing increased vacanciesof 4.
3 percent and a 1.9 percen decline in rents compared with a year ago, according to , a Ohio, real estate investment firm, HSI Propertiea is moving ahead with a 149-unit rentalk project called The Enclave at North 62nd Stree t and West Martin Drive in Wauwatosa. Unlikr Milwaukee, where vacant lots are available for development on manydowntowmn blocks, a limited number of possible developmengt sites are suitable for multifamilu buildings in Wauwatosa. “The barrier of entryh in Wauwatosa gives us acompetitive advantage,” Schultz Milwaukee’s recently opened One at the North End, an 83-unitt luxury apartment building at 1551 N. Watere St.
The building is 65 percenft filled after being on the market for two saidPhil Aiello, a Mandel Groulp project manager. “We are at the high end of the luxuryhapartment market, and the fact we’ve been well receiverd by renters is a testament to our design and Aiello said. Mandel is asking from $1,065 to $2,35 0 per month for rents at One at theNortn End. The real estate development firm also recentlh broke ground ona 75-unit apartment projecty at 444 E. Corcoran St. in the 3rd “The shadow market of renting condominiums has an impact on the apartment market, but we can compete because of high-ene finishes in our rental units,” Aiello said.
Dan a real estate analyst for Red Capital Group, called the condominium rentalsz a “shadow market” because no databases are availablew in markets to track the numberd of units that are being rented. “We think the condo shadow market in Milwaukee is an aggressiveerental market,” Hogan said. The largest condo development in Milwaukee that is renting finished units is the Park a $102 million, 282-unit project in the 2000 bloclk of North Prospect Avenue on the east In April, Warren owner of the development, said he is using a lease-to-ownj strategy to jump-start condo sales. Barr has sold about 80 condoxs atPark Lafayette, and some of the sold unitw are being rented.
The 80-unit River Renaissance 102 N. Water St. in the 3rd also has resorted torenting hard-to-selo condos. Other apartment buildings that have been built or are undefr construction in or near the 3rd Ward includesRobert Joseph’s 100-unit building at Menomonew and Jackson streets, Lighthouse Development’s 55-unitf building at 235 E.
