An underused, historic downtown Milwaukee office building could be redeveloped as apartments or other uses by its new owner.
The 10-story, 30,800-square-foot building, 225 E. Mason St., was recently sold for $2.1 million to Mason Street Ventures LLC, a local investors group, according to state real estate filings.
The building s occupancy rate is just 30% and it has low lease rates, said Adam Gollatz, Mason Street Ventures co-owner.
Mason Street Ventures is considering potential redevelopment opportunities, Gollatz said.
It isn t yet known whether the building will continue to provide office space or be converted to a new use, he said.

Plans are in the works to bring retail back to Downtown Haverhill’s White’s Corner as Harbor Place is planning to build a space for selling goods along the Merrimack River.
Merrimack Street Ventures, owned jointly by the Greater Haverhill Foundation and Boston Archdiocese’s Planning Office for Urban Affairs, was formally awarded $75,000 from the state’s Collaborative Workspace Program for the project Tuesday. The money is part of $1.2 million in Baker-Polito Administration grants to 26 organizations in 18 communities.
“Our administration is proud to provide funding to help collaborative workspaces comply with the mandatory workplace safety standards essential to our COVID-19 reopening plan,” said Gov. Charlie Baker.
