Developer Asking Greenfield to Switch Condo Project to Rentals

GREENFIELD — A Greenfield condominium development that opened last year would be converted to apartments under a new proposal.

According to a report by the Journal Sentinel, Ener-Con Cos. is seeking city permission for changing its Greenfield Highlands project because there's more demand for rental units than condos, said Chuck Erickson, Greenfield community development director. The Plan Commission this week recommended the change, which the Common Council will likely consider in July.

Here is what Ener-Con Cos. billed the Greenfield Highlands project as originally:

An exclusive, upscale gated community located at 110th and Coldspring Road, Greenfield (West of Hwy 100, between Layton and Armour Avenues, this 180 planned condo development (6 buildings of 30 units each) would have been surrounded by a walking trail, leading to Oak leaf Trail, near Alan Kulwicki Park, Whitnall Park and walkable to area retail establishments. Easy access to I-43 or I-94 make this an ideal location to call home.

The firm has bought back three of the six condos it sold, according to the Journal Sentinel report, and is negotiating with the three remaining condo owners.
