COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Villard Square Library and Apartments
The NWSCDC, together with Gorman Company, co-developed a tax-credit financed, mixed-use public library building that incorporates a mixed-income, “grandfamily” apartment project on the corner of Villard Avenue and 35th Street in Milwaukee.
With a sustainable and streamlined library model, the Milwaukee Public Library has significantly reduced its operating costs at this facility. This mixed-use library facility has become the model for library branch redevelopment in Milwaukee.
NWSCDC Eco Tech Visioning
NWSCDC EcoTech Rendering 2018 Building on recent changes in the Century City II area, NWSCDC partnered with the UWM Community Design Solutions to produce an updated vision for development in the area near W Capitol Drive and N 27th Street. In 2017 our team consulted with stakeholders and property owners in the area, who articulated a vision for investment and jobs including diverse uses like manufacturing, office, research, and education as well as improvements in green space and connectivity. This vision document highlights the major opportunities in the CCII area which complement the large redevelopment area available in the CC1 area and other large opportunities in the North area of the 30th Street Industrial Corridor.
