Brisk Lease-up Continues at North End
Property Now Over 70% Leased
MILWAUKEE | Mandel Group, Inc. released month‐end results for June, 2013 indicating that the current phase of its North End development reached 70% leased status. To provide context for this, we are 50% beyond our anticipated leasing schedule which has well exceeded all expectations. The phase is comprised of two structures, named “Portrait” and “Silhouette”. Portrait first opened for occupancy in mid‐March, while Silhouette will finish construction by the end of July. Together the buildings contain 155 apartments and related retail space. Added to the 83 apartments situated in ONE at the North End, the block at the intersection of North Water Street and East Pleasant Street comprises 238 apartment homes.
“We’re very excited that the market has responded so positively to the new apartments we’re bringing online”, commented Don Lindeman, President of Mandel Property Services, Inc. “The lifestyle service package provided by our on‐site staff differentiates the property from other apartments.” MPSI associates deliver concierge‐like services to residents as an integral part of the lease agreement, to enhance the experience of living at a Mandel property.
The development’s public use features, including the Riverwalk and a public square named “Denim Park”, are being completed in July for initial events and programming.
While Portrait and Silhouette have been delivering new units, ONE at the North End has retained its near‐100% occupancy level as well. “There is a growing number of new apartment offerings in downtown Milwaukee”, Lindeman observed. “Thanks to our residents, we have enjoyed consistently high occupancies at our properties even as the supply continues to grow. We can track a lot of our client satisfaction and loyalty to the Mandel brand to the level of delivered services we offer. It’s humbling and very satisfying to have earned the high retention rate among our current residents.”
The current phase of the North End included financing participation through the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) and the City of Milwaukee.
