Apartment and condo tower could launch broader downtown Kenosha redevelopment
An $80.5 million project with neighboring condo and apartment towers marks the start of Texas developer ARD Inc.’s plans for downtown Kenosha.
That building could break ground in the first quarter of 2020, and be the first in a broader redevelopment envisioned by city officials for more than 1,000 modern housing units, a central park, restaurants and other projects on several stale blocks of the downtown area. The “Brindisi Towers” proposal by ARD includes 10-story and 11-story towers with 80 apartments and 54 condos.
President Joe Chrnelich, former CEO of Wisconsin State Fair Park dating back to 2001, said that housing would mark the “upper-end” of a new luxury housing market that could be built in Kenosha’s downtown. People living in those towers could be professionals taking the Metra Rail to jobs in Chicago, or working at expanding manufacturers like Uline Inc., Haribo, Nexus Pharmaceuticals Inc. or Foxconn Technology Group.
