Location:

Whitney School Lofts and Townhomes are a ten-minute walk from downtown and across the street from Whitney Park, established in 1829 by one of the city’s early founding fathers, Daniel Whitney. The historic park hosts a summer concert series and has a new off-leash dog park.

“The Whitney School project reinforces the fact that this is an up-and-coming, cool neighborhood where people want to be,” Garritt Bader of GB Real Estate Investments said.

About:

Prospective townhome owners have an opportunity to purchase one of twelve available units along Van Buren Street at pre-sale construction pricing. Upgrades and customization such as wood flooring, leather-finish granite countertops and smart thermostats are available. The exterior materials reflect a modern, Colorado-style construction with gray siding, wood accents and cable rail.

The outer units have three bedrooms each and the center units have two bedrooms. All townhomes have two-and-a-half baths, garages, basements, bedroom balconies and outer exits to the common green space.

Townhome owners also have access to the same amenities offered within the historic school building, including a gym, party room and common area with wireless internet, as well as an attractive exterior green space at the center of the property.

“The property is unique in that it creates a sense of community, with a large common park area and amenities like a fitness room,” Lindsey Bovinet of Milwaukee View said. “It will be appealing for people who are looking for that city life but don’t necessarily want to take care of a property.”
