KENOSHA, Wis. — Continental Properties announced the groundbreaking of Authentix Black Hawk Ridge, a new garden-style apartment community featuring 336 apartment homes located near the southwest corner of Highway 31 (Green Bay Road) and 60th Street in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The community will offer studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes with open-concept layouts, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and detached garage options.
Located within the Southeast Wisconsin I-94 corridor, Authentix Black Hawk Ridge provides convenient access to major employers and regional destinations throughout Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, Milwaukee, and northern Illinois. Nearby employment centers include LakeView Corporate Park, home to companies such as Uline, Honeywell, Pepsi, Yamaha, Meijer, and Kroger, while additional regional investment from Microsoft, Haribo, Amazon, and Aurora Health continues to support long-term job growth. The community is also adjacent to established retail along Highway 31 and offers convenient access to Interstate 94.
"Kenosha continues to benefit from significant public and private investment, making it one of Southeast Wisconsin's most compelling locations for new residential development," said Katie Skelton, Director of Multifamily Acquisitions at Continental Properties. "Authentix Black Hawk Ridge expands our presence in a market supported by strong employment growth, regional connectivity, and sustained demand for professionally managed apartment homes."
Community amenities will include a swimming pool, fitness center, pet playground, detached garage options, outdoor grilling and gathering areas, and private balconies on select apartment homes, creating a welcoming environment for everyday living. The community also incorporates upgraded finishes throughout, including granite countertops, undermount sinks, and stainless-steel appliances.
Authentix Black Hawk Ridge expands Continental's growing presence in Southeast Wisconsin and reinforces the company's long-term investment in providing thoughtfully designed apartment communities across the region.
"Authentix Black Hawk Ridge reflects the standard we strive to deliver in every community we build: thoughtfully designed homes, amenities that enhance residents’ lifestyles, and a team dedicated to creating a positive living experience," said Heather Riggs, Senior Vice President of Multifamily Operations at Continental Properties. "With convenient access to employment, shopping, and recreation throughout the Kenosha area, this community will provide residents with the opportunity to enjoy both everyday convenience and a place they are proud to call home."
Construction will be led by William Randolph. Pre-leasing is expected to start summer 2027, ahead of completion of the first residential building and community clubhouse.
