MILWAUKEE | The Couture | 537 FT | 44 FLOORS
i haven't seen this one mentioned yet; my apologies if there already is a thread.
very nice proposal for Milwaukee! https://s17.postimg.org/h2hqg3o0f/Cy...SUQAAsel_T.jpg Website: http://www.rinkachung.com/project_couture.html :tup: |
Nice building Milwaukee! Hope it get's built. Man it's been a while since anything's been built there!
|
^They've had at least a couple of residential towers in the 400 foot range.
|
I have never been to Milwaukee, but based on the pictures this is a very nice project! I also like the waterfront, although it looks eerily quiet.

DNR ruling clears lakefront site for high-rise project
By Paul Gores of the Journal Sentinel Updated: 2:50 p.m. The site of a proposed $125 million lakefront high-rise project isn't on a filled lake bed and can be redeveloped, officials said Friday. The state Department of Natural Resources said its research shows the parcel of land, on which Milwaukee County's Downtown Transit Center now sits, does not fall under the state's public trust doctrine. The doctrine protects former lake beds from development. The ruling clears a hurdle for construction of the 44-story Couture, a project that would include a 180-room hotel, 179 apartments and parking for 775 vehicles. full story: http://www.jsonline.com/business/dnr...171834161.html |

How is it only 507ft, when the renderings show it's clearly taller than the US Bank Center, which is 601ft?
|
^ Well in most of those it's just the angle of the rendering that makes it seem that way. The one that is more of a side to side shot does make it look that way, wouldn't put much stock in it though, just renderings. 507ft would make it third highest in Milwaukee.

I'm jealous of our neighbor to the North. Milwaukee is always getting nice new buildings.

Looks nice, Milwaukee has actually been pretty active lately. Not sure many cities have had 3 of their 10 tallest buildings completed since 2005. Also some interesting NW Mutual news leaking out that may lead to a new office tower downtown.

glad to see some activity on this.
:tup: this project is a really nice addition to the skyline. i'd love to see milwaukee get a new tallest more centrally located in the skyline, so i'm good with this being just a bit shorter than the u.s. bank building. :) |
any news
|
with the news that NWM's tower proposal is 550' tall, if that project and the Couture both go through, milwaukee could see two buildings over 500' under construction at the same time in a couple years, doubling the number of existing 500+ footers in milwaukee. that's some serious potential skyline change.

That's good news. I just spent all of August in Milwaukee and was really surprised at how much the city had to offer.
