Verizon Wireless moves Milwaukee office to West Allis
Basking Ridge, N.J.-based Verizon Wireless recently moved its Milwaukee office out of The Tannery office complex at 700 W. Virginia St., Suite 300, in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood, to a larger space in the Lincoln Center II office building at 2514 S. 102nd St. in West Allis.
The new location positions the Verizon Wireless office just northwest of Interstate 894 and National Avenue. The new location has more space (10,600 square feet) compared with the 7,600-square-foot space in The Tannery building. Lyle Landowski of Inland Companies and Tom Treder of Commercial Property Associates represented Verizon Wireless, and Ned Purtell and Jeanine Sweeney of RFP Commercial Inc. represented the Lincoln Center II owner in brokering the lease.
"We’ve seen quite a bit of growth in an employee standpoint," said Carolyn Schamberger. "We really needed the additional space. (The building) met our needs in terms of space and convenience for our employees and is able to accommodate our future growth." Verizon Wireless needed more space to accommodate the growth of its Milwaukee office. The company has increased employment in the office from about 85 employees in 2006 to about 130.
