On September 27, 2021, Harpe Development received Conceptual Plan approval from the Plan Commission for a condominium development known as Willow Grove Condominiums. The plan includes ten two-unit buildings on 6.21-acres of vacant property, generally located east of County Trunk Highway H (CTH H) and north of 68th Street, in the Prairie Lake Neighborhood. The newly approved Conceptual Plan replaces the initial project proposals from March 2020, which consisted of 13 single-family lots.
“The new Conceptual Plan for the Willow Grove Condominiums blends in nicely with the single-family homes in the area,” said Jean Werbie-Harris, Community Development Director. “In addition, the development team has tested the two-unit building concept in another area of the Village and found condominium housing is in demand.”
The new Conceptual Plan consists of ten two-unit buildings comprised of 20 ranch-style owner-occupied condominium units with full basements and two-car or three-car attached garages. The buildings will have one unit with two bedrooms at about 1,625 square feet and another unit with three bedrooms at approximately 1,690 square feet. The design of these condominiums will be similar to the Green Bay Trails Condominiums development, located on the southeast corner of State Trunk Highway 165 and Old Green Bay Road.
Harpe Development plans to extend 68th Street into Willow Grove Condominium and end it in a cul-de-sac. The extended roadway will include sanitary sewers, water, and storm sewers to service all 20 condominium units. Land to the north and east of the development area is located in the City of Kenosha, containing single-family homes. Lands to the west, lying in the Village, are also developed as single-family homes. Land to the south has plans to be developed into a synagogue by the Chabad of Kenosha.
