A crew prepares to install cables in the Phoenix Heights subdivision in Waukesha being developed by C-CAP Inc., which also plans a Hartford subdivision. That's especially true in Waukesha and southern Washington counties, he said. That's the fastest-growing part of our state.
Any time there's a development there, our challenge is to try to keep up with the demand.
The development took the place of the former site of the General Castings Corp. foundry, a railroad roundhouse and a fuel storage business. Fergus said sales have been more than brisk, with 45 homes built and sold, and commitments to buy 20 more homes that have yet to be built. Phoenix Heights should be completed by the end of the year. Hartford's policy encourages developing affordable housing for workers at area factories, said John Spielmann, director of city planning and development. The city wants to make sure we have homes that work well for these types of people.
