New Land Enterprises is moving forward with a proposal to develop a nine-story apartment building on an L-shaped site in Milwaukee’s East Town neighborhood.
The new building would include 251 market-rate apartments and a two-story commercial space at the corner of N. Van Buren St. and E. Juneau Ave.

New Land Enterprises and Korb + Associates Architects hope to replicate their nature and play-focused design methodology on a new eight-story building in Milwaukee’s East Town neighborhood.
“Most people just gloss over it,” said New Land director
Tim Gokhman of a focus on improving the resident experience both inside and outside of the apartment. “We are really focused on how people interact with the buildings they spent so much time with.”
But Gokhman said his firm has found success with what others consider just “just industry jargon.” He said New Land first implemented its new model with Rhythm, a 140-unit apartment building at 1632 N. Water St.

The COVID-19 pandemic decimated travel across the globe, and Milwaukee’s first hostel was not immune to the effects. Cream City Hostel closed its doors earlier this year amidst the travel slowdown.
But the building at 500 E. Center St. didn’t go dark. Bader Philanthropies is backing a new cooperative housing model built from the hostel’s infrastructure. The organization is providing a low-interest $450,000 loan to support the building’s conversion and retire existing debt. Milwaukee Area Cohousing is providing support on the conversion.
