The first wave of S.C. Swiderski’s Wittenberg apartments are nearing completion, and the housing company opened up some of them for the public to check out March 12.
It didn’t take long for the open apartments to fill up with interested people, and applications are already coming in, according to managers on the site. The first eight units, all single-level apartments, are expected to open in May.
“The first eight units are our Rockwell buildings,” said Allison Menebroeker, area manager. “Those are the single level living, so there’s no one above you, no one below you.”
Menebroeker said she anticipated leases would be sent out to prospective tenants in the near future. Even in the first 20 minutes of the open house, several applications had been filled out, she said.
The Rockwell apartments all have vaulted ceilings and stainless steel appliances, as well as in-apartment washers and dryers. There is also a one-vehicle garage included. Rents for the complex range from $1,125 for one bedroom up to $1,550 for three bedrooms, and all utilities are included in the price.
“We provide heat, water, sewer and trash removal, along with a Wi-Fi cable package,” Menebroeker said. “We will also have keyless entry into the apartment. Nobody wants to deal with a key.”
Having inclusive rents helps to create ease for customers. Menebroeker noted that it’s easier to pay one bill instead of several each month.
The high interest shows the apartments have been needed in Wittenberg, according to Menebroeker.
“We had this open house starting at 11 o’clock, and we’ve already had 30 people in 20 minutes,” she said. “I would say there’s some demand.”
There are still plenty of apartments under construction, and Menebroeker anticipates some will be done in the summer, with the remainder expected to open in the fall.
“We’re aiming to have this done by the end of 2026,” she said.
On-site maintenance is another thing that the Swiderski team expects will attract people to the apartments.
“They’ll take care of anything and everything that goes wrong in the apartments,” Menebroeker said. “That’s a huge selling point to a lot of people. They can move in, and they don’t have to worry about anything.”
David Marshall will be the on-site property manager, and during the open house, he said he’s answered a lot of questions about the apartments.
“It’s exciting,” Marshall said. “We’ve already got people coming and sending their applications. We’ve had a good turnout today. I’m ready to move forward and get them all filled up, help people find their new homes. I have a feeling these will fill up real quick.”
