Plans for Condos Back on Track

The Glen at Seven Stones condominium development is ready to become a reality.

The Sussex Village Board gave unanimous approval Tuesday to allowing the development to be constructed near Highway 164 and Seven Stones Drive once developer John Wahlen of Cornerstone Development begins preselling units.

“They’re really beautiful condos,” Trustee Jim Batzko said. “Everyone is pretty excited about getting this going.”

The condo development will contain 56 ranch-style homes ranging in price from the mid-$200,000 to mid-$300,000. The buildings will consist of four units per building, some of which containing basements.

The units will have a “European design” to them, Wahlen said, and range in size from 1,400 square feet to 1,800 square feet.

An  environmental corridor located on the proposed site of the development will remain untouched.

“We love to have four homes to a building because it takes the garage and recesses them behind the buildings,” Wahlen said.

The development had been originally planned in 2008, but was put on hold due to the collapse of the housing market and sluggish economy. However, Wahlen has a 132-unit development in Menomonee Falls that has been successful and a 42 unit Brookfield development has been selling “very briskly,” he said.

A construction date has not yet been determined.
