The Milwaukee downtown hotel boom continues, even with a pandemic cutting revenue and canceling events.
Construction is underway on Kinn MKE Guesthouse, a 32-room hotel being created in the four-story office building at 602-606 N. Broadway.
Charles Bailey is developing the hotel, a scaled-up version of his successful Kinn Guesthouse in Bay View. That eight-room hotel, with restaurant Sorella on the first floor, is located at 2535 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
Bailey, who operates Joca Properties, is adding a fifth floor to the building that will contain a bar and rooftop deck that will function as an event venue.

The building, constructed in 1892 according to the Wisconsin Historical Society, was the long-time home of the Harri Hoffman Company. The company, known for its Hoffco Shoe Polish, was based at the building since 1963. The structure was originally built for a predecessor firm of Laacke & Joys.
