Malibu Apartments
Malibu Apartments is a new development in Sheboygan designed to revitalize an old DNR brownfield site, supporting the city’s Comprehensive Master Plan and addressing housing shortages. The project offers luxury apartments with beautiful views of Lake Michigan and easy access to “Kite Beach,” helping to establish the area as “the Malibu of the Midwest.” With amenities like a lakefront pool, fitness center and outdoor recreation, Malibu Apartments provides high-quality living while enhancing the beach community. The project will include 210 residential units and a waterfront restaurant for residents and the community to enjoy.
Town of Sheboygan – North Town development
North Town Partners and the town of Sheboygan are making significant progress on the 99-acre North Town development, set to blend residential, retail and commercial spaces northeast of the I-43 and WI-42 interchange. The first phase of the development features a 93-room Hilton Home2 Suites, 170 apartments in mixed-use buildings, 34 townhouses and single-family homes, and 16,000 square feet of commercial space. A new town square is also planned, with underground infrastructure complete and landscaping in progress.
Random Lake master plan being developed
The village of Random Lake is nearing the completion of a master plan to guide future development proposals along the Highway 144 and 57 corridors. In Fall 2023, the village hired GRAEF to create a framework for future development. The plan will recommend potential land uses for more than 150 acres with Highway 144 and 57 frontage including sites with lakefront access. The goal of the Random Lake master plan is ensuring residents had input into creating a vision for the land use of these parcels that will be key to growing the local economy and attracting new residents while creating and enhancing the destinations within the village. The master plan provides recommendations on placemaking strategies and redevelopment opportunities for both public and private lands downtown. To implement the placemaking plans, a Community Enhancement Fund has been created through a charitable donation of $1 million to the SCEDC Foundation. Applications for the Enhancement Fund will be accepted upon completion of the master plan.
Plymouth downtown
Sargento’s Gentine family signed purchase agreements for both the historic 52 Stafford building and the H.C. Laack building and will plan to renovate the properties restoring their prominence in the heart of downtown Plymouth. The 52 Stafford Building was placed on the National Register for Historic Places in 1985. As part of this redevelopment effort, the city of Plymouth will be considering the creation of a Tax Incremental District to support this and other redevelopment efforts in the downtown area.
Sheboygan County housing initiative
Founders’ Pointe, an 11-acre subdivision in Sheboygan Falls, is the first project constructing much-needed entry-level homes in Sheboygan County. The SCEDC housing initiative is funded by the Forward Fund. The Forward Fund was capitalized by generous donations of $2 million each from Johnsonville, Kohler Co., Masters Gallery Foods, Inc. and Sargento. In addition, Sheboygan County has provided $2 million in ARPA funds and the city of Sheboygan Falls has been a strong partner in advancing this project. The SCEDC will construct all 54 homes by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Twenty homes have already been sold with 40% being sold to people moving into the county and 70% being first-time home buyers. The second project, Founders’ Pointe Neighborhood, is a 41-lot pocket neighborhood subdivision. Plans for the third subdivision project have started with the rezoning of 32 acres in the city of Plymouth.
