Housing growth is booming across the Village of Pleasant Prairie, with approximately $1 billion in active developments.
“We’ve created thousands of jobs just over the past year,” Village President Dave Klimisch said. “The reason companies choose Pleasant Prairie is because we plan in a very predictable way and create partnerships.”
Inspire Prairie Springs, 11245 Betty Lane, one of six active housing developments, will begin moving residents in Aug.24. With its first phase complete, 139 additional housings have been added, with 58 pre-leased.
The development is the first property development in Wisconsin of Bond Companies, a Chicago based group. When fully completed, the development is projected to include 330 units, along with an outdoor pool, fitness center, an enclosed dog run and two pickleball courts.
Klimisch noted the Inspire project has helped the village with land conservancy. East of the development are hundreds of acres of conservancy land, and the developer added an additional seven acres to the conservancy.
Bond Companies is also planning a second phase for the development and is currently in the application phase with the village. The development is projected to add an estimated $185 million to the village’s tax base, with its second phase likely to be completed in 2028.
Other developments
The Seasons at Mount Pleasant, an apartment complex with an on-site clubhouse at 4301 Yates Drive, plans to add 100 units for a total of 400 apartments. Seasons is projected to add a total of $100 million to the village’s tax base in a development village officials said also helped address flooding issues. The developer added several retention ponds to help minimize the impact of flooding.
Lofts at Village Green development was first proposed nearly 23 years ago as the Sagewood Condominium project, but the original development built only two buildings before the 2008 recession. Local developer Douglas-Kent plans to build 64 condo units across 60 buildings at the former Sagewood Condominium site. The condos are priced around $450,000 and construction is slated to start next year. Douglas-Kent also plans to complete a public roadway on 103rd Circle. The roadway was started in 2003 but wasn’t completed. The new condominium project is expected to add $32 million to the village’s tax base.
