Plans for the construction of six condominium units on the old greenhouse site on W. Bluemound Rd. were approved this week by the Common Council.

Developer Sheila Firari and Story Hill Investments LLC originally proposed six single-family homes on the site, but  that did not prove economically feasible.

“Market conditions have been very soft and interest in the lots has been minimal,” Justin L. Johnson, senior project manager, wrote to a Department of City Development official.

After some back-and-forth with neighbors, Firari’s revised plan, featuring condominiums, won support from those live closes to the site.

According to the City Plan Commission: “The three duplex condominium structures will have attached garages at the rear of the units. The garages will be accessed via shared driveways. Each unit will have approximately 2,300 sq ft of livable area, and will have three bedrooms or two bedrooms plus a den. All units will also have three bathrooms, a first floor master bedroom with laundry, full basement, and a two car-plus garage.”
