A largely-hidden downtown apartment complex will grow in size under a new plan from its owner.
Sunset Investors developed the Plankinton Lofts apartments complex in phases on the third and fifth floors of the Plankinton Arcade building, 161 W. Wisconsin Ave., whose lower floors have long been part of the downtown Grand Avenue mall.
Starting in 2009, Sunset began converting former office space in the seven-story Plankinton building into apartments. Additions were made in 2012 and 2014 bringing the total to 46 units according to documents submitted to the city.
