Bender Companies, a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Lofts at Layton, a 150-unit garden-style community located at 4602 S 20th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Built in 1969, Lofts at Layton features spacious two- and three-bedroom floor plans, including loft-style layouts averaging 1,000 square feet. Residents enjoy modern finishes, private patios or balconies, and community amenities such as a dog park, playground, and garage parking.
“We’re excited to continue expanding our footprint in Milwaukee with the acquisition of Lofts at Layton,” said Kurt Bender, Founder and Principal of Bender Companies. “Milwaukee’s steady rent growth and consistent renter demand make it an attractive market for continued investment, and we look forward to building on the property’s performance.”
Located just minutes from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and right off the Mitchell Interchange, Lofts at Layton offers easy access to major employers such as Aurora Health Care, Northwestern Mutual, and Kohl’s, along with nearby retail and dining options. The community is about 10 minutes from downtown Milwaukee and 90 miles north of Chicago, conveniently positioning residents between two major Midwestern cities.
The property has seen nearly $5 million in improvements since 2022, including new windows, balcony replacements, and upgraded interiors. Bender Companies plans to complete the remaining unit renovations and continue investing in exterior updates.
The addition of Lofts at Layton reflects Bender Companies’ continued growth and investment throughout Wisconsin and the greater Midwest.
