Once-disputed Brookfield affordable housing complex is now inundated with tenant interest


Elizabeth Sili of Wisconsin Management Company has been inundated with applications from people interested in moving into the new four-story, 203-unit apartment building she manages in a Brookfield office park. And she knows why.

"It`s a once in a lifetime opportunity to get into beautiful, affordable housing in the city of Brookfield," Sili, the property manager at The Flats at Bishop`s Woods, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel during a walk-through for media and local officials at the apartment on Sept. 24.

Key Points:

  • A new 203-unit apartment building, The Flats at Bishop`s Woods, is Brookfield`s first entirely affordable housing development.

  • Rent is based on income, with costs lower than the city`s average for those earning 50% to 70% of the area`s median income.

  • The development, marketed as luxury affordable housing, aims to provide homes for people who work in Brookfield but cannot afford to live there.
