The Mandel Group presented four landscaping options for the Silver Spring walkway, which will also accommodate outdoor dining for two incoming restaurants.
A new look could be coming to Consaul Commons, the public walkway located between the village's two incoming restaurants: Vinamo and The Bay. The Mandel Group presented four different landscaping schemes to the Village Board Monday night. All four of the options would remove the curb and hedgerows along the walls, allowing outdoor dining tables to be flush with the exterior walls. Dick Lincoln, senior vice president at The Mandel Group, said renovating the 40-foot-wide walkway is beneficial to Mandel's Beaumont Place apartment development coming to the parking lot north of the Silver Spring businesses. "It was really important in our overall concept for The Beaumont Place development to develop, maintain and enhance this kind of pedestrian…

The panel also will vote on issuing $1.8 million in bonds for the Mandel Group luxury apartment project.
Village Board members will consider paying more than was budgeted for a records management system at the consolidated dispatch center when they meet Monday at 6 p.m. at Village Hall. To bring all the North Shore communities served by consolidated dispatch onto the same, integrated system will require a one-time investment of almost $140,000 and annual maintenance and service of just more than $18,000, according to a memo from Village Manager Patrick DeGrave. The village set aside just $75,000, and DeGrave recommends using money saved by reduced health insurance costs to make up the difference in 2013. Other key items on the board’s agenda: The board will also convene to closed session at the start of the meeting to discuss a series of …

With the CDA's recommendation to create a TIF district, the developers have announced a construction schedule for the luxury apartment development.
The Mandel Group has plans to break ground on its proposed luxury apartment development on Feb. 1. At Tuesday night's Plan Commission meeting, Mandel's senior vice president Dick Lincoln said construction on the $27 million, three-building development containing 100 high-end apartments will begin on Feb. 1, assuming it receives all the necessary village approval. The developer expects to start excavating on the east end and working west, always leaving one lot open for public parking at Silver Spring businesses. The development would be built in the parking lots north of Silver Spring Drive, between Santa Monica and Consaul Place. Last week Mandel finalized the purchase of the smaller 45-stall parking lot behind Starbucks. That lot was …

The Mandel Group expects 15 new students to enter the school district, but officials say it is hard to gauge enrollment changes without knowing who will rent the proposed units or buy the houses on the market.
The developers proposing to build an upscale apartment development near Silver Spring Drive expect the Whitefish Bay School District will add roughly 15 new students as a result of the project. The Mandel Group recently sat down with Whitefish Bay School District administration to discuss how the district's enrollment may be affected by its proposed $27 million, three-building development containing 100 high-end apartments in the parking lots north of Silver Spring Drive, between Santa Monica and Consaul Place. Shawn Yde, the district's business manager, said Mandel's estimate is based on a similar development they constructed in Brookfield. The apartment development is targeted to empty nesters, so developers expect some existing …

Residents raised concerns and questions with the village's plan to contribute $4.9 million to the development by creating a TIF district. Negotiations continue between the village and The Mandel Group.
Should the village assist in funding The Mandel Group's 100-unit luxury apartment development near Silver Spring Drive?

At the hearing attended by less than 10 residents, resident Robert Crawford said he likes the project, but he questioned the use of public TIF funds for it. "I think good, old-fashioned capitalism will see that this project…

The four-story apartment proposal was introduced to two village committees this week, but two business district leaders say they should have had a seat at the table earlier on.
After seeing the proposal for a luxury apartment development in the Fox Bay parking lot, Whitefish Bay Plan Commissioners gave the concept its preliminary approval. The Plan Commission held a pre-petition conference with the developer, Mandel Group, Wednesday night. The conference, required by the village's planned development process, does not include a public hearing, but gives commissioners a chance to decide whether the general proposal should be further considered by the Village Board. "This is really intended to be a preliminary discussion with all of you," said Dick Lincoln, the company's senior vice president. The developers first publicly presented their plans at a Community Development Authority meeting Monday night. The …

More details emerge on plans for six-story upscale apartment and retail development.
A Milwaukee developer may have found a new home for Shorewood's Walgreens as it released details Friday for a $32 million, six-story apartment and retail development on North Oakland Avenue.
