Another former Milwaukee Public Schools building will become apartments. Royal Capital Group has closed on its purchase of the former Phillis Wheatley School, 2442 N. 20th St., and is set to begin construction work.
The firm will redevelop the four-story building into 42 units of affordable housing and construct a new building on the southern portion of the 3.8-acre site that contains an additional 40 units. The units would have a mix of one, two and three-bedroom layouts.
Plans to convert a historic former school on Milwaukee s north side into affordable apartments are proceeding.
Royal Capital Group Ltd. announced Tuesday it has completed the $465,000 purchase of the former Phillis Wheatley Elementary School, 2442 N. 20th St.
Royal Capital plans to begin construction this month on creating 82 apartments at the site, with completion in spring 2022.
The $22 million project features the conversion of the former school into 42 units, with 40 more apartments in a new four-story building on the same site.
The apartments will range from one- to three-bedroom units. Most will be provided at below-market rents for people earning no more than 60% of the local median income.
