Cirrus Plans Germantown Rental Development

Carillon at Germantown is a proposed rental development by Cirrus Property Group. The firm also has a project underway in Grafton. The Germantown development has been described with differing unit counts in public records and reporting. A site plan application filed with the village identifies Daniel Hasbani of Cirrus Property Group as agent for Tanner Hahn of Faith Lutheran Church and describes the project as a 36-unit multifamily development at W172N11187 Division Road. A Milwaukee Business Journal report from January similarly characterized the plan as a 36-unit rental project. But a BizTimes report on the same church-partnered proposal described it as a 42-unit apartment community, and the available records do not clarify whether the project's size changed between filings or whether the two accounts refer to different versions of the plan.
