It’s a shame they changed the design. The original cream city brick and darker siding would have been so much better. Now it already looks dated.
Just say it, it’s an ugly building! It’s not welcomin at all, and they really missed an opportunity to activate the street level with some type of commercial space. That area could really use more street/pedestrian activity, and this building almost immediately discourages that by blending the entrance into the facade. Just bad, sorry Milwaukee for this awful building!
Kinda looks like a prison. To bad they cheaped out on pretty much every aspect. Regarding the retail, every other development is required to include retail. How was this one able to bypass the rules?
It is zoned as a detailed planned development, meaning if has its own unique zoning. The original developers were apparently able to get it approved without much street level activation.
Very disappointing project. I’m sure there were big budget constraints, but there’s really no excuse for the way it completely ignores any relationship to the public realm… This building had the opportunity to act as a bridge between the Brady Street neighborhood and the Holton Street commercial corridor.
Wow, that is really disappointing. Did the design change from the original renderings really save them that much money? I don’t see why it would go from something dull-but-passable to something truly ugly. And in a prominent spot that could’ve augured well for the future, too.
