Tarantino & Co., the Waukesha, Wisconsin, real estate developer, plans to build a $20 million senior housing community in a commercial district on the south side of Grafton, Wisconsin. The 200-unit project, to be called Village Pointe Commons, will have levels of care, services, and amenities common to the senior communities that the developer already operates under its Capri Senior Communities banner.

An aging mall that once occupied the development site was razed in 2008 to be replaced by an extensive mixed-use project—a 17-building complex on 22 acres that included a new retail center and townhouse- and apartment-style condominiums. The retail center was finished before the full effects of the economic recession took hold, but the housing units were never built. That developer recently agreed to sell the land to Tarantino & Co, and the Grafton Community Development Authority and Village Board approved the land-use change to senior housing. Tarantino’s development plans will need further approval from the village before construction begins around April 2015.

Capri Communities, LLC—a member of the Tarantino family of companies—already manages more than 1,300 units in a dozen senior communities throughout southeastern Wisconsin, including Gables of Germantown, Wilson Commons of Milwaukee, and St. Catherine Commons of Kenosha.
