Milwaukee Department of City Development officials have selected a 10-story apartment development proposed by Klein Development Inc. for a vacant site at 1027 N. Edison St. on the Milwaukee River downtown.
In March the city issued a request for proposals seeking development proposals for the vacant half-acre site on the east side of the river. The northern portion of the site has major communication lines underground and a sidewalk providing access to a pedestrian bridge. Therefore only the southern half of the site is considered easily develop-able.
In response to the RFP, Klein Development proposed a $15 million, 10-story building with 72 luxury apartments and 4,500 square feet of restaurant space on the ground floor. The project includes an extended Riverwalk and preserves access to the Highland Street pedestrian bridge. An urban greenspace would be on the north end of the site.
DCD’s selection of the project is subject to review and approval of the full Common Council.
