Cool MILWAUKEE | The Edison | 362 FT | 32 Floors

This mass timber tower was proposed a little while ago, but never got a thread made, so here it is.

Developer has stated they're anticipating a construction start in the latter half of this year.

The site is currently a dumpy little single story flooring wholesaler with a parking lot directly on the river, so this MASSIVE upgrade can't come soon enough.

Also, the developer for this tower has said that they're also looking at doing an even bigger (50+ floors) mass timber tower on the parking garage site seen in back of The Edison in the first image above.

They gotta get the The Edison actually built first, obviously, but pretty tantalizing none-the-less.

At least they're aiming high. A 50+ story residential tower in a city of Milwaukee's size would be a pretty big effing deal.

That would be cool if that gets started building later this year! A 50 story I am not sure but it is interesting since it’s going to be made out of timber wood. So either way 32 or 50 stories would be nice to see big tall and changes in Milwaukee skyline. It would be most 2 big tall towers made of timber in that city wow. Can’t wait!

This is really nice, and a great compliment and contrast to the postmodern towers along the river. With this and a couple of additional towers, Milwaukee could have a nice little canyon effect along the river!
