I am one of the residents on the south side and the noise is AWFUL. Construction starts early and of late has been going 6 days per week. The foreman says they will be at it for a year… where can I learn about Milwaukee noise ordinances?

The construction noise is really getting to the folks on the south side of the existing building. My friend jumped on the bus and went to Badger Gun to buy silencing ear-muffs. I must go by and give it a listen.

@matthew It is our understanding that because of the change in the law (state budget) it will be taxable.

The only way I can support this project is if it becomes taxable, or pays a PILOT.

love the building. Glass and steel. Looks very modern. We need more projects like that in MILWAUKEE.

While I agree that increasing urban density can help build a healthy and walkable community, I don’t think that seniors who buy million dollar condos are the type to walk to Brady Street. I think this will promote the Dallas model; ‘driving to sky scrapers.’ In my personal experience; a strong factor in a healthy community is when no one or two people have the means to acquire services on their own. When you have a concentration of wealthy people it often leads to segregation. Elderly people have a wealth of experience; they should be provided the opportunity to live through out the community where they can share their knowledge. This tower is the reason there are poor people.
