Any indication as to when they hope to break ground on the Domus project?
Nice review of the Domus presentation at the Third Ward ARB meeting yesterday. Project will break ground sometime this summer.
Curious just like Justin A on when construction will begin on this. Also, I wish they’d exercised a bit more creativity on the exterior of the building. They have a real opportunity here to stand out. The location is amazing. Either way, it will be yet ANOTHER positive addition to Milwaukee’s growing and evolving economy.
Looks like nearly the entire first floor is dedicated to parking. While it is nice with units facing the river, 2/3 of the streetface is dead parking garage with lame graphics to pretend it isnt there. It is a shame that the street doesn’t receive the same level of care as the river.
cgleiss, If the building is in a floodplain, you want to limit what you build at street level. Parking works because, compared to apartments, it can be easily emptied if a flood is forecast.
After a flood, parking spaces can probably re-open after just being hosed down. Re-occupying “interior” space takes much longer. One of the NY City hospitals flooded during Hurricane Sandy (in 2012), just re-opened its ER today.
Tom, we don’t get hurricanes in Milwaukee and in order for that stretch of the river to rise much, Lake Michigan would also have to rise substantially.
Flooding just won’t happen in that location. Even with ‘never say never’… I’m saying never.
