I would have to agree with Alderman Wade. The intersection is beautiful and has so much potential. Location will be a tough one for apartments though.
That’s a great intersection, and the state of the building has distressed me for a long time. I think this is the best downtown news I’ve read in the past year. As for living there…I’d do it if the price and amenities were right—say $1,400 for a large one-bedroom with decent appliances and insulation against weather and neighbor noise. A full Posner building will make a real difference to the feel of downtown.
I agree with John Cooper- while I sometimes do wonder if Milwaukee is becoming over-saturated with new apartments, finding a positive re-use for this historic building, as well as putting any sort of positive momentum into the central downtown area would be a good move.
Exciting to hear about people who have faith in the downtown.
Having a “trolley” running through the downtown should make the location even more desirable; right WI. Conservative Digest?
