It s a big day for downtown Milwaukee as the Common Council approved a $20 million financing plan for Milwaukee Tool s new office and today, nine years after it was first proposed, construction starts on the Couture apartment tower on the lakefront.
The largest influx ever of jobs to downtown Milwaukee by a suburban firm is coming after the Milwaukee Tool financing plan was approved: The council voted 15-0 to help Brookfield-based Milwaukee Tool redevelop a five-story, 350,000-square-foot office building at 501 W. Michigan St. that could bring 2,000 new hires downtown.
Couture apartment tower construction starts today: Below-grade improvements begin today and a structure will start rising by early 2022, with completion expected by the fall of 2023.
