Construction workers at the Pabst brewery redevelopment project, which is being done by Zilber Ltd. founder Joseph Zilber, held a topping off ceremony this week for the 8-level, 880-space parking structure.
The $16.5 million parking structure was assembled in less than 16 weeks with 700 pieces of precast concrete, weighing as much as 20 tons each.
The construction of the parking structure will be complete in November, said Zilber’s assistant Mike Mervis.
In addition to providing parking for the Pabst brewery tenants, the parking structure will be used by employees at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, Aurora Sinai Medical Center and students and employees at Milwaukee Area Technical College, Mervis said.
"If we need more (parking spaces), we’ll put up another (parking structure) next to this one," Mervis said.
In other news at the Pabst brewery redevelopment, Zilber Park will be dedicated on June 24 and paving for all of the streets will begin in July.
"Most of the original street grid will go back in," Mervis said.
