At last night’s meeting, the Common Council approved a $3.2 million redevelopment project for 100 15th Avenue for 20 market-rate apartments.
Through the Bucyrus Foundation, the City of South Milwaukee is providing a $100,000 loan in order to support the project. The development team is expected to repay the loan by 2029, allowing those funds to be reinvested in future redevelopment opportunities in South Milwaukee.
“This project is a win for South Milwaukee and the Bucyrus Foundation, transforming an underutilized site into a modern residential property that will contribute to our ongoing economic development and redevelopment momentum.” – Mayor Shelenske
Happy to new life coming to this vacant space. See the full press release here.

Multiple proposals have come forward in recent years to redevelop the former Lakeshore Clinic, 100 15th Ave., a split-level 23,000-square-foot commercial building constructed in 1970 and vacant since 2018. The latest proposal is nearly identical to the last, but with a new property owner.
It’s being executed by Khalek Building Services along with Scott Crawford, Inc., South Milwaukee City Administrator Patrick Brever said. “They now own the property,” Brever said. …
Khalek Building Services of Oak Creek was involved in a previous proposal for the property from Villa Apartments, LLC, which formerly owned the 1.8-acre parcel. It was for the same number of total units but a slightly different breakdown of 18 two-bedroom units and two studios.
Prior to that, a project to create a community-based residential facility (CBRF) for up to 50 live-in residents was proposed but ran into some potential issues with state code and didn’t move forward.
