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.

Boisterous crowds ringed the intersections to watch, cheer on the drivers and livestream the action, often coming dangerously close to the speeding cars. In the morning after these so-called street takeovers, the intersections bore the black rings of tire skid marks.
