The developer of 710 apartments near Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets is looking to secure approval of a development agreement next week that will enable breaking ground on the first phase of the project by late April or early May.

The Inspire Prairie Springs apartment development is proposed by Bond Cos., which has corporate offices in Chicago and Los Angeles, for the vacant property along 116th Avenue, south of Breeze Terrace Apartments. The development will include eight three-story apartment buildings built in two phases.

The first phase, expected to start this spring, will consist of 332 units spread across three apartment buildings and a northern clubhouse. Completion is still expected by fall 2026, Bond Cos. co-founder and President Rob Bond told the Milwaukee Business Journal on Tuesday.

Inspire Prairie Springs is within a tax incremental district that could be used to help fund “significant public infrastructure improvements,” as part of the development. The development agreement outlining the developer’s responsibilities regarding those improvements is needed before construction can begin.

The Inspire apartment development will include two clubhouses offering amenities such as a fitness center, a resident lounge, coworking spaces, a dog wash facility and a party room, according to a village press release. Outdoor amenities will also be integrated into the development, including swimming pools, pickleball courts, a putting green, playgrounds, dog parks, walking paths, grilling stations and outdoor dining areas.
