A regional lender provided an $8.7 million construction loan to build a new 48‑unit apartment complex called Marshview Apartments just southwest of the intersection of Wisconsin Highways 23 and 32 in Sheboygan Falls. The loan was arranged by Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation (MMCC) through its Milwaukee office and will support a ground‑up development of four separate 12‑unit buildings.
Loan package and financing terms
The financing is a five‑year construction loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.2%. The loan offers 30 months of interest‑only payments during construction and early occupation, then converts to a 30‑year amortization schedule for the remaining term. The loan‑to‑cost ratio stands at 77%, and MMCC characterized the facility as a competitive mini‑permanent construction package selected from multiple options to match projected construction and stabilization timelines while providing interest rate protection for the borrower.
Project scope, units and amenities
Marshview Apartments will consist exclusively of two‑bedroom, two‑bathroom units, with individual sizes ranging from about 1,230 to 1,300 square feet. The development plan calls for four buildings of 12 units each for a total of 48 units. Amenities will include on‑site laundry facilities, private direct entry for each unit, attached single‑car garages, and private patios or balconies. Surface parking will be provided, with approximately 114 spaces planned.

The project team also includes KCB Buildings as the architect, Kapur and Associates as civil engineer, and legal counsel from Michael Best & Friedrich.
Developer, approvals and local support

City officials reviewed and approved the development plans following submission to the local plan commission in April 2025. Sheboygan County provided public support through $1.2 million in tax increment financing (TIF), to be distributed to the developer over a 10‑year period.
Market context

The developer cited these factors when moving forward with the project.

The subsidiary provides a range of financing solutions, including debt, mezzanine financing, preferred and joint‑venture equity, sponsor equity and loan sales. In recent activity, the parent organization closed more than a thousand capital transactions the prior year, totaling several billion dollars in volume.

Next steps
