A large downtown affordable apartment building and a Riverwest development that combines housing with a center for food entrepreneurs have both received preliminary financing approvals.
The 140-unit Michigan Street Commons would be built on around 7 acres bordered mainly by North Lovell, North 10th, West Michigan and West Clybourn streets.
Meanwhile, the 91-unit Riverwest apartments and food accelerator is planned for the 1100 block of East North Avenue, just west of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee s RiverView Residence Hall.
They are among 10 Milwaukee County apartment developments that are receiving state and federal affordable housing tax credits from the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority.
