Key Takeaways
- JLL arranged $39.1 million in construction takeout financing for Tennessen Flats, a 173-unit, 2025-vintage Class A multifamily community in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
- An entity managed by Argentic Investment Management LLC ("Argentic") provided the floating-rate loan, which refinanced the property's existing construction loan

CHICAGO, Nov. 10, 2026 - JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $39.1 million in construction takeout financing for Tennessen Flats, a 173-unit, Class A multifamily community in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, an affluent suburb of Milwaukee.
JLL worked on behalf of the sponsor, Weas Development and Klein Development, to secure the floating-rate loan from Argentic. The financing refinanced the property's existing construction loan.
Completed in 2025, Tennessen Flats consists of three four-story buildings and is complemented by two standalone retail buildings totaling 15,360 square feet. At the time of closing, the property was completing lease-up. The community offers a diverse mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units with high-end finishes, accompanied by amenities, including a resort-style pool, rooftop terraces with grilling stations, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a yoga studio, and an oversized resident lounge.
Tennessen Flats is located at N72W12929 Good Hope Road about 15 miles northwest of Downtown Milwaukee. The property offers immediate access to Interstate 41 and US Route 45 as well as numerous Fortune 500 headquarters within the Milwaukee area. The Eastern Waukesha County submarket that Tennessen Flats is located in has demonstrated strong fundamentals, with a 2026 vacancy rate of 4.4% expected to tighten to 3.5% by year-end, and net absorption of 560 units over the past year against only 200 units of new deliveries.
JLL's Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower included Senior Directors Phil Galligan and Brian Walsh, and Senior Analysts Christian Johnston and Merrick Evans.
"Tennessen Flats benefits from a best-in-class sponsorship team with a deep and proven track record in the Milwaukee market," said Galligan. "Weas Development and Klein Development together represent more than $2 billion of completed projects in the Milwaukee area since 1981, and that experience gave lenders significant confidence."
