MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Details surrounding the first new downtown office building in over a decade were unveiled Wednesday, March 20th.
The Pabst Business Center is a proposed new five story building for "The Brewery" neighborhood in Milwaukee. The use of glass, dark brick cladding and warm wood tones create a modern re-interpretation of the historic district.
The site is currently a vacant area of land within the designated LEED for neighborhood development of the former Pabst Brewery, now known as “The Brewery."
With floor to ceiling glass on the prominent southwest corner of the building, the project acts as a beacon of the district that not only terminates the Juneau Avenue corridor but is also highly visible from the freeway directly to the west.
The building entry, off of Juneau Street, is comprised of a small outdoor plaza and double height lobby that opens up to the adjacent Brewhouse Inn & Suites beer garden to the east. The upper office floors of the building are designed to have an urban loft appeal with exposed structure and long ribbon windows providing panoramic views of the adjacent Pabst developments and views of the downtown skyline.
