Property of the Year – Sunrise Valley Apartments in Lancaster, Wisconsin
Wisconsin Management Company is passionate about revitalizing aging affordable housing so that it supports our communities for many years to come. These properties are over 40 years old and received extensive renovations including new flooring, appliances, electrical systems, siding and energy efficient windows, as well as brand new parking lots and landscaping. We were able to complete this work with the partnership of WHEDA, USDA RD, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and Cinnaire, who we worked with on a tax-credit program and other funding sources. The improvements took 6 months and were carried out with minimal disruption to residents. Take a look at our before and after photos below.
Manager of The year – Kaitlyn Key
“Kaitlyn has worked with residents and family members during a substantial rehab which required residents to relocate with family members or temporary housing in Dodgeville, New Glarus and Barneveld. She has been thoughtful and caring with our residents as moving can be stressful. Residents appreciate how much Kaitlyn cares and appreciate the attention she gives.”
“In 2022, Kaitlyn faced the unique challenge of working on Darlington Meadows, a 32-unit RD/LIHTC property by SW Cap and Cinnaire, marketed exclusively to farmworkers and people in the agricultural industry. There have been many challenges with construction and marketing to a select demographic and she has stepped up her usual positive attitude to tackle this new community.”
