Condo canyon moves up the hill. Will millennials really love this new concrete jungle or might they perhaps like some green. Mr. Winograd has purchased 1333-1339 behind the ICE building. That will probably go glass, state and concrete. That leaves the 1400 block of N Milwaukee for Milwaukee’s downtown Urban Edible Forest. Who’s in for the push to achieve that?
@Barbara Just to be clear all of these are apartments, not condos. And I’m glad to hear that someone is looking to redevelop that site.
A fine looking project. The innards of this one look a lot sturdier than the North End (metal stud walls and lots of glass and cinderblock). Finally got rid of the outdated eyesore with the funky urinal, too.
There is a lot of goddamn greenspace just a few blocks away, not to mention that tiny triangle park by the MSOE garage. This is northern downtown, for crying out loud. There ought to be lots of glass, steel, and concrete.
Glad the urban canyon is forming, hope it continues with a lot more of the city.
Woke up this morning thinking of already built places that could use the chairs and some greening – yes, trees in planters. I was reviewing some of the Biophilia sites I had saved yesterday.
Places: Marcus Center has a fine fountain and trees already present; between City Hall and its office building there is a greenish space; BMO sidewalk next to City Hall is a fairly large space; someday when we have a streetcar and BRT lines perhaps we will have better mobility downtown without cars and can make the occasional Mason Street to the river by City Center a permanent site for people use; the space by the Convention Center that has seen an attempt at human-sizing; the Blue Federal Building plaza; across from the public market by the river where other attempts have been made; others?
Needs: was thinking about other comment made about getting city/country, corporate, non-profit involvement: needed will be care for green components and site cleanliness – a summer jobs program expansion? Buy in from downtown restaurants for biodegradable carryout containers; recycling efforts…and, restrooms? What else?
