Northern Gateway will be an inclusive and vibrant area for all to enjoy. At its southern end is Mel’s Village, a unique community unlike any other in the U.S. It is being created with close guidance from Ozaukee County nonprofit Mel’s Charities to improve quality of life for all residents, especially those with developmental disabilities (IDD).
Key Features
Designed in collaboration with Three Leaf Partners, Northern Gateway will be an inclusive and vibrant community. The project will feature up to 620 housing units alongside amenities such as a public market, splash pad, bandshell, hotel, indoor sports facility, green spaces, commercial spaces, and walking trails.
“This development is a game-changer for so many people, including the village of Saukville and the IDD individuals we serve in Ozaukee County.”
