Redesign Concept: Stanley Place, Riverwest Milwaukee
This redevelopment concept suggests historical rehabilitation and vertical expansion of an abandoned multi-story industrial building along the Milwaukee River into a mixed-use multifamily development with retail-restaurant space and interior garage parking
Complications: Old, poorly maintained building in unknown condition; uncertainty re: the ability to add multifamily levels on top of the existing structure; uncertainty re: the willingness of community to rezone
Opportunities: Unique historic multi-story building with a potentially robust structure; location along a nature corridor and popular bike trail; attractive historic building with large windows and views over the river
