212 N. Milwaukee St. is a 550-stall parking garage in the Historic Third Ward. The parking garage is controlled by the Historic Third Ward Business Improvement District. The land under the garage was originally owned by Johnson Controls, but sold to Bear Development in 2022. The land was formerly a parking lot.
Under a complex transaction involving multiple parking garages, Johnson Controls (and now Bear) received 192 spaces for free during daytime business hours in exchange for leasing the land to the Third Ward Business Improvement District.
The garage was built in 1994 for a cost of $5.5 million.
As of August 2014, monthly parking is available starting at $130.
The garage includes a 4,375 square-feet, first-floor restaurant stall along E. Chicago St (408 E. Chicago St.). As of August 2012 the space is currently occupied by Kanpai, a Japanese restaurant, owned by Taikyo “Brian” Park. Previously it was home to Nankusa, also a Japanese restaurant. Nakusa closed on March 1st, 2011, having opened in February 2001.
