Stitchweld is an 291-unit apartment complex in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood. The occupies a site previously partially occupied by Sweet Water Organics.
A community meeting on the project was held on March 16th, 2015 at South Shore Park Pavilion.
The project developer is Milhaus Development. Blair Williams of WiRED Properties represented the project locally through its approval process.
The development encompasses two parcels of land, 2151 S. Robinson Ave. and 2181 S. Robinson Ave. Both were previously owned by The Big Whale LLC. The Big Whale LLC went through bankruptcy in 2011.
The complex, which required a zoning change, had over 21 revisions according to Blair Williams, with an earlier version including 307 apartments. Williams attributed the changes to due diligence work on soil quality throughout the site. Williams stated this during the August 17th, 2015 meeting of the City Plan Commission where a revised plan for the project was recommended for approval.
