An investors group consisting of developer Joshua Jeffers, the owner of J. Jeffers & Co., Shelley Lamoreaux of the North Shore Arsenal Soccer Club and John Lamoreaux, the owner of Ticket King, plan to purchase a 25,000-square-foot building at 2920 W. Vera Ave. in Glendale, which they will convert into an indoor sports complex called Inbounds Training.
The facility is currently used as a warehouse but was originally built for indoor tennis, Jeffers said.
“In a way, we’re returning it to its original use,” he said. “It has very high ceilings, no columns, just a wide open space.”
The facility will have a special sports floor to accommodate futsal, a game similar to soccer but with a smaller and heavier ball. The facility will focus on futsal, but will also be used for other sports training and leagues including volleyball, basketball, field hockey, and lacrosse.
The investors group, 2920 W Vera Avenue LLC, is seeking a $400,000 loan for the $1.1 million project from the Milwaukee Economic Development Corp. (MEDC), which will review the request on Tuesday. Additional funding would come from Cornerstone Community Bank.
