Curious to see how hot the demand is for these. Obviously these aren’t as high-end as Winograd’s stuff, but things are starting to look a bit oversaturated.

The Hamburger Mary’s property : would be nice to see a mixed use of 1st floor retail and above floor office space.
BV is great but just about everyone has to leave to work. Would make the neighborhood much more walkable if jobs began to set up here.
This area is getting overcrowded, just like the east side.
They sold off a city owned parking lot to put up this apartment bldg.
There is no parking here and it’s a pain to go the businesses here.
@MollyO Yes the city sold a parking lot, but then for better or worse they did in fact create a new surface parking lot. It’s funny how a “overcrowded” neighborhoods are just such desirable places to live, work and play. Yes, density is a big part of what makes these neighborhoods great.
Everything is so relative… Milwaukee is so incredible easy to navigate compared to the most desirable dynamic neighborhoods in Chicago where I lived for a time before being back in Bay View. Us Wisconsinites are absolutely absurd in our car centric sense of entitlement to have no-effort parking. I adore Bay View for it’s density and walkability. I’m hugely disappointed with the aesthetics of these new condos but density is a wonderful thing when done well.
Do hope that this wood-framed building will NOT be sheathed in EIFS – as Kansas City recently had a six story apartment complex not only burn to the ground, but sent embers into nearby homes and twenty-six were set afire. Just look along the adjacent streetscape of KK and see the potential for a disaster.
Sharon, the buildings that burned in the large Overland Park, KS fire (Kansas City, MO suburb) were still under construction, there wasn’t any siding or EIFS applied. I don’t see how that has to do with this development.
