1433 North Water Street (Laacke & Joys Redevelopment)
Class A Office Redevelopment in Milwaukee Riverwalk
Downtown Milwaukee’s renaissance is in full swing and the redevelopment of the former Laacke & Joy building is a testament to the tremendous revitalization. This historic building was mostly reused and transformed into a stunning Class A office space that was specifically designed to meet ad agency Bader Rutter’s desire for a new headquarters location.
1433 North Water provides a unique opportunity for an upscale office user in a walkable location in downtown Milwaukee with stunning river and skyline views. Nearby amenities include restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, music venues, new housing, grocery, and other retailers, as well as the Milwaukee River and multiple parks. The site is within walking distance to the new Streetcar line and is within a half mile of the new Bucks Entertainment District.
The interior monumental steel staircase was repurposed and now serves as a strong, vibrant interconnection between floors and inspires gatherings and meetings. Throughout demolition, Wangard Partners partnered with local companies to meet its green building goals, such as WasteCap, to recycle and reuse materials. The building also features geothermal HVAC and solar panels.
Additional features of this office development include:
– Stunning, grand entryway and lobby
– Office suites with river and downtown skyline views
– Spacious café
– Underground parking
– River and downtown skyline views
– 50 inside bike racks
– Kayak storage, boat slips
– Direct access to the Riverwalk
An important feature of this development is Wangard’s vision of improving the landscape of Milwaukee and the continued development of the Milwaukee Riverwalk is a big part of that. Wangard Partners worked in partnership with the City of Milwaukee to securing funds for the Riverwalk, which was another important aspect for the main tenant’s culture and brand. Wangard Partners worked on multiple funding incentive packages including TIF, New Market Tax Credits, and PACE for this development. These are the type of steps we take with our real estate investment opportunities to ensure our investors have everything they need to make smart, informed investment decisions.
