ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – For those looking for a move, there’s some new waterfront property in Ashwaubenon that’s available.
The six-story, 78-unit Manseau Flats Apartment building held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday to commemorate the completion of the $8 million project.
The building is located on the Fox River, just north of the expressway.
“We wanted something when you came over that bridge you’re going to look at and go, ‘wow that’s cool, that’s a sweet-looking building’ and I think we were able to accomplish that,” says Ryan Bedford, executive vice president of Kendal Group.
For Bedford and his company, this is their first venture in this area.
“This is our first project to the Green Bay Market, but we knew we needed to provide a real high-level property to prospective tenants, we wanted something nice and clean,” he says.
Research backs the notion that there’s a demand for additional apartment living opportunities in the area.
Mary Kardoskee, Village President, says a study conducted years ago in Ashwaubenon showed the need for apartments and condos.
“There was a pent-up demand for 600 units by 2020,” says Kardoskee.
And action has followed, as this is the first of four total apartment projects being built in Ashwaubenon.
Others include The Elements, a five-story high-end apartment building offering 67 units, The Bohemian Park Apartments, which will be 4 five-story buildings each offering 50 units and most recently announced an apartment building in the Titletown District, that is being developed by the Green Bay Packers.
Kardoskee noted a positive from the building plans is that more construction jobs should exist locally.
The other three apartments are expected to be finished in the next couple of years.
For now, Kardoskee is excited about the first finished product and the dynamic look it provides to the area.
“It’s an amazing entrance to Ashwaubenon from the east,” she says.
Manseau Flats features both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units and Bedford says they are still leasing.
