Karrick Reaches Major Milestone | From Beneath the Hard Hat® | May 2026
The first completed phase of the Kenosha Harbor District reached an important milestone in May 2026 with the ribbon-cutting and opening of Karrick.
Karrick brings more than 150 apartment homes and community amenities to downtown Kenosha's waterfront. Residents are already calling Karrick home, helping bring new activity and investment to Kenosha's lakefront.
The opening marks a significant step in the ongoing Harbor District redevelopment and reflects the partnerships that continue building momentum for future phases of development.
Partnerships between Cobalt Partners, Summit Smith Development, Plunkett Raysich Architects, the City of Kenosha and many others helped bring this vision to life and continue shaping the future of the Harbor District.
