Affordable apartments proposed to replace underused Wauwatosa offices

An affordable apartment community is being proposed to redevelop a Wauwatosa site that now has two underused office buildings. The four-story, 59-unit apartment building would be constructed at 11400 W. Blue Mound Road, said developer Brandon Methu. It would provide one- to three-bedroom units for moderate-income families. Methu's firm, Northernstar Companies LLC , is co-developing the project, known as Bluemound Commons, with Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development Inc. – a Madison-based nonprofit. Bluemound Commons is among the applicants for the 2027 round of affordable housing tax credits. Developers that receive affordable housing tax credits must generally provide at least 85% of a building's apartments at below-market rents to people earning no higher than 60% of the local median income for 30 years. The tax credits are sold to raise cash, with the developers then obtaining bank loans and other funding sources to complete their financing packages. The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority usually announces in spring which developments are receiving tax credits. Bluemound Commons would meet a strong demand for affordable apartments for families in Wauwatosa, as opposed to apartments targeting just elderly renters, Methu told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The site is a strong location in part because
