The Standard at East Library is HSI Properites, LLC’s 99-unit mixed-use building which opened during the summer of 2014 on Milwaukee’s East Side. The former East Library, at 2340 N. Cramer St., was demolished to allow for the mixed-use building to be built on the site.
The building contains a new 16,000 square-foot East branch of the Milwaukee Public Library system.
