Wangard plans new apartment complex on east side
Published May 2, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Wangard Properties LLC announced today that it has purchased a vacant former nursing home on Milwaukee's east side at 1824 E. Park Place, where it intends to demolish the building to construct a new four-story, 61-unit apartment building.
The demolition work is expected to begin next week and be completed so construction of the new building can begin before summer, said Wayne Wiertzema, executive vice president of development for Wangard Properties. The new apartment building is expected to be ready for residents to move in by June 2009.
"Our plan stays within the existing zoning," Wiertzema said. "We want to construct a building that enhances other properties in the general area and adds to the existing stability of the neighborhood. This will be a new building that will add to the tax base and help enhance what is already a strong neighborhood."
