Branded Midwest multifamily communities
A repeatable Solhaven prototype designed for everyday living
Solhaven is Wangard’s branded multifamily platform built on a two story walk up prototype. It focuses on sanctuary, safety and modern comfort for residents while giving investors a clear, consistent product across each new Midwest community.
This page summarizes the Solhaven concept from an investor perspective. It is not a substitute for the fund’s formal offering documents.
What Solhaven is built to deliver
Solhaven provides a unified identity across Wangard multifamily projects so that residents, investors and partners recognize each community as part of the same trusted platform. The brand is designed to communicate sanctuary, safety and modern comfort in markets that are often filled with more generic rental options.
By standardizing operations, marketing and the resident experience, Solhaven aims to support efficient leasing, more consistent data and scalable portfolio level insights. Over time, this can help strengthen resident loyalty and referral activity while reinforcing investor value.
Why a prototype driven Solhaven design matters
The Solhaven prototype is a repeatable two story walk up model with direct entry buildings and a familiar community program. Having the design concept established in advance supports more predictable costs and a smoother path from pre construction through stabilization.
Development efficiency
- Pre defined plans support competitive pre construction bidding.
- Known building systems and specifications reduce guesswork.
- Modular layouts allow unit mixes to flex by site and market.
Operational advantages
- Shared building types simplify maintenance and capital planning.
- Leasing teams work within a familiar unit mix and finish package.
- Consistent resident experience supports stronger reputation scores.
Risk awareness
- Known product and cost structure help refine underwriting.
- Ability to compare lease up and operating performance across sites.
- Clear target resident profiles guide marketing and amenity choices.
Timelines and advantages described here reflect current expectations from prior Solhaven planning and may not apply equally to every future site. Actual outcomes will vary by project and market conditions.
Community level experience
Each Solhaven community is planned around a central clubhouse and amenity core that supports daily life and resident connection. Features will vary by site, but the program typically includes a welcoming lounge, fitness area and flexible gathering zones that can host work, social and family uses.
- Thoughtful clubhouse design with indoor and outdoor connections.
- Modern fitness and wellness spaces sized for the community.
- Spaces for co working, meetings and resident events.
- Smart proptech infrastructure and EV charging where appropriate.
Unit layouts and design approach
Floor plans are designed to feel efficient and livable, with direct entries, natural light and storage that support everyday use. A range of square footages is used so that residents can match their home size to their stage of life while staying within the same Solhaven community.
- Mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom layouts depending on market.
- Private entries and individual outdoor space where site design allows.
- Modern finishes that are attractive yet durable for long term use.
- Parking solutions tailored to each site, including attached or surface options.
How Solhaven ties into the Midwest Multifamily Development Fund

Portfolio clarity
