Budweiser parent company confirms interest in acquiring SABMiller
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, the maker of Budweiser, Corona, Beck’s and other beers, has approached rival SABMiller PLC for a potential takeover combining the world’s two biggest brewers — and bringing a possible shakeout for MillerCoors LLC and its Milwaukee operations. While both companies said there has been no specific offer, stock in London-based SABMiller, which includes Miller Lite, Coors Light, Pilsner Urquell and Foster’s among its brands, rocketed 22% higher on Wednesday’s news. Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev rose 7%. “AB InBev’s intention is to work with SABMiller’s board toward a recommended transaction,” the Leuven, Belgium-based company said, in a statement. “There can be no certainty that this approach will result in an offer or agreement, or as to the terms of any such agreement.” The company has until Oct. 14 to make a purchase offer under financial regulations in the United Kingdom. SABMiller said it “would review and respond as appropriate to any proposal which might be made.” The beer industry has been undergoing a wave of consolidation as consumers with changing tastes gravitate toward craft brews and other beverages. Buying SABMiller would strengthen Anheuser Busch InBev’s position within the fast-growing economies in Africa and Asia. SABMiller, formed by South African Breweries’ 2002 acquisition of the former Milwaukee-based Miller Brewing Co., employs about 69,000 people in more than 80 countries, from Australia to Zambia. Anheuser-Busch InBev has operations in 25 countries, mainly in Europe and the Americas, totaling 155,000 employees. SABMiller and Denver-based Molson Coors Brewing Co. own MillerCoors, the nation’s second-largest brewer, created through a 2008 joint venture. Chicago-based MillerCoors’ operations include a brewery and corporate offices in Milwaukee with around 1,400 employees. MillerCoors has a corporate policy of not commenting on speculation, said Jonathan Stern, the company’s director of media relations. A merger between Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller would control about 30% of the global beer market, with $73 billion in annual revenue. Such a transaction would face antitrust scrutiny in the United States, beer industry observers say. Anheuser-Busch had a 2014 U.S. market share of 44.7%, while MillerCoors had a 26% share, according to trade publication Beer Marketers Insights. Those concerns could be resolved by the U.S. Department of Justice requiring SABMiller to sell its U.S. brands, including Miller and Coors, said Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association, a Boulder, Colo.-based trade group for craft brewers. Molson Coors would be a likely prospective buyer of those American brands, Gatza wrote in a blog post.Other possible bidders could include Dutch brewer Heineken NV or Danish brewer Carlsberg AS, he said. The merger talk comes as both Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors continue losing U.S. market share to craft brewers. Five years ago, the U.S. market share of those top two brewers was 47.7% and 29%, respectively, according to Beer Marketers Insights figures. Boston Beer Co., among the nation’s largest craft brewers and maker of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, saw an increase in market share from 1.1% in 2010 to 1.9% in 2014. The craft beer segment, which includes dozens […]

San Diego company to pay $4.1M for parking lot near downtown arena site
San Diego investor MVP REIT Inc. announced a deal to buy a downtown parking lot near the proposed Milwaukee Bucks arena site. The company has been investing in parking lots west of the Milwaukee River downtown. The acquisition of the 75-stall lot at North Old World Third Street and West Juneau Avenue would be its third downtown. The Milwaukee Bucks owners recently bought two smaller lots on the opposite side of Old World Third Street for their planned development around a new arena. MVP REIT would pay about $4.1 million for the parking lot, according to a recent filing the public investment company made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company specializes in acquiring parking structures. MVP REIT plans to hire a parking operator to run the lot, according to the SEC filing. The more than 1-acre surface parking lot belongs to an affiliate of Jackson Street Holdings LLC, which developed the Aloft Milwaukee Downtown hotel to the north, according to city records.

Judge approves Downer Ave. theater, stores foreclosure sale
The foreclosure sale of east side buildings which house Downer Theatre, Boswell Book Co. and other businesses has received court approval. That means CSFB 2006 C4 North Downer Avenue LLC, an investment group with ties to New York-based C-III Capital Partners LLC, can proceed to take ownership of the Downer Ave. buildings. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Daniel Noonan on Monday confirmed the group’s $6.5 million bid for the properties at an August sheriff’s auction. A C-III spokeswoman declined to comment about the group’s plans for the buildings. The buildings, at 2551-2597 N. Downer Ave. and 2608-2650 N. Downer Ave., were owned by Downer Delaware LLC, a group led by Joel Lee, president of Van Buren Management Inc. Downer Delaware owed $10.5 million to its lender, according to court records. It stopped making loan payments in January 2014, leading to the foreclosure suit. Their tenants include Starbucks, Boswell Book Co., Downer Theatre and Pizza Man restaurant on the west side of Downer Ave., and Cafe Hollander, Downer Cleaners, Breadsmith, Optix on Downer and Downer Wine & Spirits on the street’s east side. The buildings have several vacancies. Neighborhood residents and Downer Ave. business operators areconcerned about the future of the properties. Lee’s other group, Downer Avenue Development LLC, separately owns two floors above Starbucks, which Van Buren Management renovated into medical offices at 2524 E. Webster Place, and vacant second-floor space above retail tenants on Downer Ave.’s east side, which Lee had planned to convert into another medical facility. Those upper floors weren’t part of the foreclosure suit. The medical offices were part of a larger redevelopment planned by Van Buren Management and New Land Enterprises, led by Boris Gokhman and Walter Shuk. But those additional plans, including New Land’s proposed condominium tower, were halted when the housing bubble burst and the recession struck.

City panel OKs $47 million for Bucks arena; opening may be delayed to 2018
A $47 million city proposal to help finance a new Milwaukee Bucks arena was endorsed Tuesday by a Common Council committee, which also made a big change opposed by the basketball club. Meanwhile, a Bucks executive said the arena may not open until the fall of 2018 — one year later than planned. The Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee voted 4-1, with Ald. Nik Kovac as the only opponent, to recommend approval to the full council, which will review the proposal at its Sept. 22 meeting. The council’s Finance and Personnel Committee reviews it Wednesday. The committee made a major change: One block of N. 4th St., between W. Highland and W. Juneau avenues, would not be closed permanently for a planned public plaza. Instead, the street would be closed only during Bucks games and other events, with the block used as a plaza at those times. The block would otherwise remain open for traffic — a contentious point for the Bucks and Mayor Tom Barrett‘s administration. That amendment, sponsored by Ald. Robert Bauman, was approved on a 3-2 vote, with support from Kovac and Ald. Jose Perez. Ald. Jim Bohl and Ald. Willie Wade opposed it, as did Bucks President Peter Feigin and Development Commissioner Rocky Marcoux. The street provision, and other changes, took Feigin by surprise. He told committee members that some of the amendments amount to going “back to the drawing board.” Bauman said he’s been raising the street issue since March. “If you folks ignored those signals,” Bauman said, “it’s not our fault.” The arena is being designed with a focus on heavy pedestrian traffic on that block, including using the plaza at nonevent times for ticket sales and other activities, a Bucks source said. All amendments, including an increase in mandated hiring of city residents for arena construction and retaining the city’s naming rights for the new parking structure, could be removed during the full council debate, Bohl noted. The $500 million basketball arena project would use $250 million in financing from city, state and county taxpayers, with the county and state funding plans already approved by the Legislature and Gov. Scott Walker. The arena would be built north of the BMO Harris Bradley Center, between N. 4th and N. 6th streets, with a neighboring entertainment center, featuring restaurants and taverns, developed east of N. 4th St. and north of W. Highland Ave. The city would spend $35 million to develop a city-owned 1,243-space parking structure north of W. Juneau Ave. and east of N. 6th St., in the Park East strip. That structure also would serve future adjacent offices, apartments and other commercial space envisioned by a Bucks-affiliated development group, Head of the Herd LLC.s The city and the Bucks would share a 50-50 split of the parking structure’s revenue. It would replace a 1,000-space city-owned parking structure, valued at $7.4 million, to be given to the Bucks, and demolished to make way for the entertainment center, Marcoux told committee members. Also, the city […]

Cafe at the Plaza’s Kady Gibowski
Kady Gibowski is addicted to cake. She’s also pretty well known for both her karaoke skills and her ability to successfully dance “the worm.” Incidentally, she also cooks up a pretty mean breakfast spaetzle, which you can sample any morning of the week at Cafe at the Plaza. Gibowski, who grew up about 40 minutes north of Milwaukee in the Village of Newburg, has both personality and charm. But, she also has a culinary pedigree which includes a degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Minneapolis. As part of her program there, she completed an internship at the Wisconsin Room at The American Club in Kohler. Subsequently, the worked at the LaFayette Club on Lake Minnetonka and the Ozaukee Country Club, where she began as a pantry cook and moved up to executive sous chef. “At that point, I felt ready,” she says. “I wanted to have my own kitchen.” So, in March of 2014 she accepted the position as executive chef at Cafe at the Plaza, where she serves up breakfast and lunch – as well as dinner service on Thursday through Saturday evenings. When Gibowski isn’t cooking, she loves to attend festivals and concerts. She says she loves anything outdoors with food and entertainment. She also spends lots of time with her 3-year-old nephew. OnMilwaukee: What initially sparked your interest in food? Kady Gibowski: My mom and dad are just great cooks, and I was always right there with them, (even if) it was making a boxed cake. Once I was old enough to experiment, my parents would come home to find me in the kitchen, creating new recipes. Food has always been a huge event in my family; everything centered around food. OnMilwaukee: When did you know you wanted to do it professionally? Gibowski: Probably when I was in eighth grade. We did a project for social studies where I had to study a country and make a food from that country, and I realized that I was super passionate about the research, and that made me realize I should just do it. I worked at No No’s (in Newburg) all through high school – dishwasher, hostess, busser, server, cook. By the end I was more or less running the line. The owner was super supportive. She wanted me to go to culinary school, and even though I was young she really gave me a chance. OnMilwaukee: Cafe at the Plaza has been serving dinner since June. How has the transition been – from serving only breakfast and lunch – to offering dinner too? Gibowski: To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of the change at first because we’re so well-known for breakfast and brunch. I was also really excited to have a morning schedule. But, I did miss the creativity that I used to have when I created evening menu items. The reception has been great. We get a lot of neighborhood people who come in and then go out and tell their friends about the […]

GOP lawmaker moves to have governor, not voters, pick schools chief
After an appeals court overruled Republican attempts to weaken the powers of the state’s elected schools superintendent, a GOP lawmaker wants to let the governor choose the superintendent rather than voters. It’s one of several changes that Republicans have made to weaken the powers of state and local officials aligned with Democrats, moves that GOP lawmakers say are needed to make government work more smoothly. Democrats scoff at that, saying the legislation is nothing more than a naked power grab transferring authority from voters to Republican officials. The current schools superintendent, Tony Evers, has ties to Democrats and in 2011 Gov. Scott Walker and lawmakers attempted to give the governor the power to halt administrative rules issued by Evers. But in February 2015 a state appeals court upheld a lower court decision striking down that move as unconstitutional given that the state’s charter says that “the supervision of public instruction shall be vested in a state superintendent” elected to four-year terms in officially non-partisan spring elections. That case is now before the state Supreme Court, but Rep. Joe Sanfelippo (R-New Berlin) isn’t waiting on the high court to decide it. Instead Sanfelippo is proposing a constitutional amendment to stop electing superintendents, saying that Evers and the Department of Public Instruction haven’t done enough to improve schools that are struggling in some parts of the state. “Wisconsin is one of only 12 states in the country that elects its state superintendent of public schools rather than have that person appointed by the governor or state school board,” Sanfelippo said. “Nearly every other state agency in Wisconsin is led by an appointed administrator, so it makes sense to treat DPI the same.” Evers has one of the few positions left in state government that aren’t controlled by Republicans, making him a frequent target of criticism from conservative groups such as those supporting taxpayer-funded private voucher schools. The state’s teachers union, the Wisconsin Education Association Council, frequently defends Evers. The plan wouldn’t exactly treat the superintendent’s position like other cabinet positions in state government, since under the measure the Legislature could act to replace the governor’s choice. Passing the proposal wouldn’t be easy — it would have to be passed by two consecutive legislatures and then approved by voters in a statewide referendum. Here’s some of the other changes that Republicans have made since 2011 to shift an advantage away from liberal elected officials: ■ Changing the rules so that the state Supreme Court is headed by a justice chosen by a court rather than picked based on seniority. That shifted the chief justice position to conservative Patience Drake Roggensack and away from Shirley Abrahamson, a liberal who is suing over the move. ■ Reduced the duties and budget of Democratic Secretary of State Doug LaFollette, who is suing over the changes. Those changes were accompanied, however, by reductions to the powers of Republican state treasurers during the same period. ■ Sanfelippo has helped pass legislation to shift powers from the liberal Milwaukee […]

Posner Building transformed into MKE Lofts Downtown with $23.5 million development
For more than a decade, downtown Milwaukee’s Posner Building was an odd mix, with a very active street level while remaining largely vacant on its eight upper floors. Mo’s Irish Pub supplied the energy on portions of the first and second floors at the building, at W. Wisconsin and N. Plankinton avenues. Now, with a $23.5 million development being completed, there will be more businesses on the street level, as well as 105 new high-end apartments on the upper floors. The building, renamed MKE Lofts Downtown, has opened some of its apartments, with the remaining units to be available by Sept. 28, said developer Tyler Hawley. Around 40 apartments have already been leased, he said. Many renters are millennial generation members, ranging from their early 20s to around 35, said Hawley, a co-owner of development firm HKS Holdings LLC. Some of MKS Lofts’ new residents have moved to the Milwaukee area to work for companies located downtown, as well as suburban-based employers such as Kohl’s Corp., he said. “I think it’s typical that a lot of Kohl’s employees are young millennials, and they don’t want to live out in Menomonee Falls,” Hawley said. Most of the apartments have monthly rents that start at $895 for studios and range up to $2,750 for two-bedroom units. Also, the development has 21 apartments set aside at below-market rents for people earning up to 80% of the area’s median income. Those rents start at $855 for studio units. The development’s main financing is a $13.75 million loan from the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, which required that 20% of the apartments be set aside at lower rents. The city is providing a $2.5 million grant by allowing the developers to recover that amount through new property taxes generated by the building’s improvements. The financing includes $1.4 million in equity cash, a $500,000 Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. grant, and $5.3 million in state and federal historic tax credits, which help cover the costs of restoring historic buildings. The historic features include intricate tile floors in the common areas, an iron staircase and the decorative gargoyles at the Wisconsin Ave. entrance. The building, which includes the original seven-story structure at 152 W. Wisconsin Ave. and a nine-story addition at 725 N. Plankinton Ave., was known as the Caswell Building when it opened in 1907, according to a Wisconsin Historical Society report. It was initially planned for a department store, which explains the abundance of large windows and other features providing natural light, but was instead largely used as offices, Hawley said. It was later renamed the Posner Building for its then-owner, attorney Gene Posner. Those offices eventually closed, and Mo’s Irish Pub operator John Vassallo for several years sought to redevelop the upper floors. Mostreet LLC, led by Vassallo, a year ago sold the property for $3.4 million to Mo Street Development LLC, an affiliate of HKS Holdings. The building’s renovations will include a second entrance for Mo’s Irish Pub from the revamped lobby off […]

Milwaukee music ex-pat Castelaz steps down as president of Elektra Records
According to a report from Billboard this morning, Milwaukee music ex-pat Jeff Castelaz is stepping down as president of Elektra Records at the end of the month. The Billboard article notes the motivation for the move is to focus on his Cast Management company, which he founded here in Milwaukee while managing Citizen King back in 1992. Cast now represents Celtic rock band Dropkick Murphys, producer/mixer Tony Hoffer and writer/producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen. The article also notes Castelaz wants to focus more on his charitable efforts, including The Pablove Foundation, a childhood cancer organization which the music entrepreneur created with his wife Jo Ann Thrailkill in 2008, after the passing of their son Pablo. “Running Elektra Records has been a dream come true,” Castelaz told Billboard in the report. “Being part of Atlantic Records Group, I’ve learned so much from Craig and Julie, and will forever count them as business mentors and friends. “But I’ve been accused of being a serial entrepreneur,” he continued. “I build something, I get it to the best place I can, and then I start dreaming of what’s next. Being a manager really satiates that part of me because each producer or band I manage is a different entrepreneurial project, because those business are constantly iterating and changing – and that really turns my crank.”

Engine Co. No. 3
There’s something about an old fire house. Even a crumbling one. Thirty years ago, the old Engine Co. No. 3 house at 217 W. National Ave. was already rough around the edges and sitting unused for the intervening decades did little to improve things. The firehouse with its original tower. But, still, the place held an allure for restaurateur Peter Sandroni, whose acclaimed La Merenda sits just a block and a half east. “The space came to my attention through Juli Kaufman at Fix Development,” says Sandroni. “She knew that I only wanted to do another restaurant if I could open it within walking distance of La Merenda. The sheer convenience of the restaurants being on the same side street two blocks apart has made my life a lot easier.” The hose drying tower. But, Sandroni says, the attraction was more than simply geographical. “Of course, there is the allure to the building for the simple fact that it’s a fire station. The charm, character, bones of the space could not be replicated if it were anything else.” That explains why, although much has changed inside the old firehouse, Sandroni worked hard to keep a lot, too. So, enamored was he with the building’s original use that he named his restaurant after it and used the history as its theme. Throughout his Engine Co. No. 3restaurant, there are historical photos of Milwaukee firefighters – including some who worked in the very building – alongside firefighting memorabilia. And, when he opened up a broad staircase to the second floor dining room, Sandroni kept all the wood and had it milled for re-use – on the staircase, on the building’s two bars (at left) and in other spots. He also repurposed the doors to the old hayloft for a second-floor closet. In the back staircase is a vintage brass MFD firehouse pole that he’s planning on installing soon. The current firehouse is not the first on the site. The earliest was erected there in 1869 at a cost $8,775 and it was occupied until 1901, when the engine company was moved the big then-new house on 1st and Virginia, while a new home was constructed. That new home is the one you see today, though it has long since lost the four-story tower that graced its northeast corner. It didn’t serve terribly long as a firehouse, either, after opening on Nov. 13, 1905 to house Engine Co. 3’s horse-drawn steamer (replaced by a motorized vehicle 14 years later). The 1869 station on the site can be seen at left. On the right is the 6th and National house, which survives, albeit in altered form, which you can see in a photo below. (Photo: “Beertown Blazes,” by R.L. Nailen and James S. Haight) The original house was home to the firefighters, notably driver Leonard Limberger, who helped nab Matthew Thomet, a self-described firebug who confessed in 1893 to starting the notorious Stadt Theater fire, among other blazes, and was believed to be responsible […]

Chicago developer still seeking investors for downtown Milwaukee apartment tower
Chicago developer Bob King said he is still hoping to build a planned $75 million, 37-story apartment tower in downtown Milwaukee, but said large institutional investors that would finance the project have not yet shown much interest in the project. “I haven’t given up on it yet,” King, president of Carroll Properties, told the Milwaukee Business Journal. Carroll Properties hired FitzGerald Associates Architects to design the apartment high-rise that will replace the vacant Edwardo’s restaurant building. King in October 2014 secured needed city approvals for the luxury apartment tower at North Van Buren Street and East Kilbourn Avenue, where the vacant Edwardo’s Restaurant building stands. The tower would have 275 apartments, with 369 indoor parking spaces. Besides the planned Couture building with 302 apartments on the downtown lakefront, it is the largest proposed apartment building in the downtown area. King said he has approached the bigger institutional lenders that invest in similar projects around the country, but has not had success securing the needed financing for the Milwaukee building. “I’m still excited about Milwaukee and I still think it’s a great plan,” Carroll said. “It’s a $75 million project, so I have to get other people to like it as much as I do.” Milwaukee’s downtown has been rapidly growing in the past several years, and has attracted more interest from developers from Chicago and beyond. Nonetheless, it is not a top-tier city like Chicago or New York where it is easier to attract financing from national investors who put money into projects across the country. More money Several Milwaukee community development organizations secured grant awards this week from the U.S. Treasury Department to improve their operations and expand lending programs in low-income areas. The awards came through the Treasury Department’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, which handed out $202 million in grants and loans on Sept. 10. Of those, $1.25 million went to three Milwaukee organizations. The Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corp. secured a $1 million award for its lending programs. Awards of $125,000 were given to both the Hmong Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce and Northwest Side Community Development Corp., which has been driving efforts to support job creation and housing in Milwaukee’s 30th Street Industrial Corridor. Those grants will help the two organizations improve their operations through training, buying equipment or hiring consultants, for example.

Gothic Milwaukee’s Anna Lardinois
Anna Lardinois loves stories, history, people, walking and sharing information and, because of this, her job as a haunted, historical walking tours guide is a sheer joy. In 2011, Lardinois started Gothic Milwaukee – a one-woman business that provides walking tours of allegedly haunted Downtown Milwaukee buildings. “The inspiration is my love of Milwaukee and history,” Lardinois told OznMilwaukee in 2012. Lardinois’ inquisitive and grateful nature, along with her commitment to public education and Milwaukee Film, also contribute to what makes her a true Milwaukee All-Star. OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: How long have you been doing your job? Anna Lardinois: This is my fourth season of conducting haunted, historical walking tours of Downtown Milwaukee. Walking Milwaukee are new – self-guided and definitely not spooky – walking tours that came into existence this summer. OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: What time of year / season is your favorite in Milwaukee and why? Lardinois: Spring! I love the excitement and anticipation of spring. The snow begins to melt and I can see the grass in Cathedral Square and I instantly begin to make plans to attend Jzazz in the Park, or I get waylaid on the flooded part of the Oak Leaf and dream of the coming days when the trail is clear and dry. Summer in Milwaukee is a celebration, but the thrilling anticipation of summer makes it that much more sweet. OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: What’s your favorite or least favorite smell in Milwaukee? Lardinois: Happiness is walking by Peter Sciortino’s bakery an hour or two after the shop closes and smelling that heavenly, sugary baking smell that fills the air. On a crisp winter night you can almost taste the air. I always walk past the building rather slowly so I can savor the scent. OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: What’s your hope for Milwaukee? Lardinois: I’d love to see people have a true appreciation for how great the city is. We have so much access to arts, culture and entertainment in the city. There are endless opportunities to explore nearly anything your heart desires here! OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: When or how did you fall in love with Milwaukee? Lardinois: It began as a teen-aged romance. I grew up in the western suburbs and the absolute coolest and best thing any of us could think of to do was to go into the city. I am happy to report, as an adult, the love has deepened as I have discovered how much it had to offer me. OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: Why do you do what you do? Lardinois: I love stories! There are stories all around us and I love uncovering them and sharing them with people. I am delighted that I can provide something to people that not only entertains them, but helps them create a connection to the city and the people they choose to explore the city with. OnMilwaukee / Too Much Metal: What’s your one guilty pleasure? Lardinois: If […]
