Irgens to build Actuant’s HQ office building in Falls

Wauwatosa-based Irgens Development Partners LLC plans to build an 80,988-square-foot, two-story office building in Menomonee Falls for Actuant Corp., according to information submitted to the village.
Actuant will lease the building from Irgens. Actuant will move its corporate headquarters from Butler to the building, and an existing building nearby.
A spokesperson for Irgens declined to comment about the project.
The new office building will house 175 employees and is expected to be completed in April of 2011.
It will be built on a vacant site located across the street from a 175,000-square-foot building at 12545 W. Westbrook Crossing, which was purchased by Milwaukee-based Towne Investments last year. Towne is leasing that building, which has office and warehouse space, to Actuant.
Towne will also remodel and add a 137,000-square-foot expansion to the building for Actuant. The project will be complete by this summer.
Towne Investments is the trade name under which Milwaukee-based Zilber Ltd. develops, owns and manages commercial real estate.
