01Vision

Built for people who want more time and less upkeep.

The Violette is two four-story buildings on an in-town site in Sauk City. Young professionals who want to live close to work and to town. Residents ready to downsize from a house and a yard without leaving the village. Studios through two-bedrooms, elevators, garage parking, and shared space on site.

Sauk City has effectively no rental vacancy and 57 one-bedroom apartments in the entire village. The Violette adds 150 homes close to downtown and the Wisconsin River without extending the village’s footprint, and every move out of a house frees that house up for a family.

02Life at The Violette

Room to live, less to manage.

  • 01

    A community room in each building

    Building 1 opens onto a ground-floor community room off the lobby. Building 2 puts its community room on the fourth floor, where the views are. Both buildings include a fitness room and a mail and parcel room.

  • 02

    One-level living with elevators

    Every home sits on a single level with elevator access from the garage, built for residents ready to trade a house and yard for something easier without leaving Sauk City.

  • 03

    Studio to two-bedroom homes

    One hundred fifty homes across the two buildings, from 590-square-foot studios to two-bedrooms above 1,100 square feet, for singles, couples, and downsizers alike.

  • 04

    Structured garage parking

    Ninety-two stalls under Building 1 and seventy-two under Building 2. Park inside, out of the Wisconsin winter, and take the elevator straight up to your floor.

  • 05

    Lock-and-leave freedom

    Less upkeep, more weekends. Travel for a few days or a few months and come home to the same easy routine.

  • 06

    An outdoor plaza with a fire pit

    Landscaped space beside the buildings with grilling stations, seating, lawn games, a fire pit, and a dog run.
