The first residential complex in Saukville’s sprawling Northern Gateway Community Collective development  is opening its doors to tenants this month.

The Daniels, which will include five buildings with 23 apartments each, will start filling units at its first building this month, Vice President of Development Jessica Ganther of Three Leaf Partners said. The rest of the buildings will be filled as-completed, with the last expected to open March of next year.

Ganther said The Daniels will tap into a regional need for housing in the northern Milwaukee and greater Ozaukee County area and a local need sparked by business growth within the Gateway development.

“American Orthodontics will bring at least 180 new jobs right to Northern Gateway, and Gateway Sports Academy will also drive a lot of traffic and employment opportunities,” she said, allowing The Daniels to provide “new, high-quality” housing for employees.

Construction on the Gateway Sports Academy, which is expected to draw 17,000 players and 42,500 spectators to 40 sports tournaments a year, will break ground next week.

Plans estimate it will create 15 to 20 jobs and add $8.3 million in value to the village.

Gateway Academy is being developed by four partners — Joe Chapman, Carolyn Chapman, Tyler Mueller, and Brian Hebein — of Chapman Sports Academy.

Founder Joe Chapman, a former Marquette University basketball player, started the academy in 2018 after transitioning from playing overseas to coaching and running Amateur Athletic Union teams.

Since then, the academy has grown from four to 88 teams, and is ready to expand from its current Mequon location, Chapman told Ozaukee Press in May.

“We saw the need for another gym with the amount of people we had,” he said.

The Gateway facility will feature a “complete indoor gym,” including basketball, pickleball and volleyball courts, Chapman said, as well as team rooms and a sports medicine center.

Teams that travel more than 75 miles to the facility will be required to stay in the community overnight, Chapman said, benefiting local businesses and filling bookings at the planned 110-room hotel in the development.

The Gateway Academy is expected to open in spring.

The 129,000-square-foot American Orthodontics manufacturing facility, the anchor of the Gateway development, was toured by village officials in May.

The first shift of production at the facility will have 40 staff members, with more added over time, Village President Andy Hebein told Ozaukee Press at the time.

The design of the building allows for American Orthodontics to double the square-footage in the future by adding a second floor to the office-space and expanding production facilities eastward.

Mel’s Charities and Balance Inc., local nonprofits that support people with disabilities, have worked with Gateway’s developers.

While The Daniels is not directly partnering with either organization, Ganther said, their team is “proud that the mission of Mel’s Charities is the driving force behind the entire development of Northern Gateway.”

She said the success of each phase of development advances Mel’s mission of creating an inclusive and diverse community.

All businesses planning to move into Northern Gateway have signed a pledge to hire individuals with disabilities, and of the 620 planned housing units, a quarter will be for adults with disabilities.

Apartments at The Daniels range from 762 to 1,310 square feet, including one, two and three-bedroom options, according to its website. Amenities include quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and walk-in closets.

The 99-acre Northern Gateway is expected to house a 30-acre business park, 110-room hotel, day care facility and as many as 620 housing units.
