A new 45-lot subdivision on the St. Johns Northwestern Golf Course in Delafield could be finished as early as November.
The developers, Milwaukee-area attorney George Erwin and Hartland-based Espire Homes, have begun construction on the project, situated on about 60 acres near downtown Delafield.
Named St. John’s Estates, the subdivision surrounds the St. Johns Northwestern athletic fields, which will not be redeveloped for this project. The homes will be on half-acre lots.
“The new development will blend in wonderfully with the surrounding area of single-family
homes and St. John’s Northwestern Academies’ campus,” Delafield Mayor Kent Atwell said in a press release. “It’s just a five-minute walk to both our historic downtown and St. John’s Park on beautiful Nagawicka Lake.”
Earlier this month, the developers purchased the project site for $3.1 million from Beloit-based Hendricks Commercial Properties, who is planning a 31-lot subdivision on a neighboring property.
In 2021, Hendricks purchased the 112-acre St. John’s campus in a sale-leaseback transaction.
