Greenfire continues to make significant progress on River House Phase II, the continuation of the high-end apartment development along the banks of the Milwaukee River on Milwaukee’s Near East side. The second phase of the project includes buildings three and four, both of which are under construction and reaching key milestones.
In building three, temporary occupancy has been granted and finishing touches are underway. The courtyard pool has been poured, which was achieved over the cold winter months by the construction crew building a makeshift heated tent to keep conditions right for the concrete pour. In addition to the pool, the extensive landscaping is underway as well. Inside, the lobby, common areas, and leasing offices are nearing completion, preparing to welcome future residents.
The project team is working on the finishing touches, floor by floor on each tower’s four residential stories. The two buildings are stick frame over a two-story poduim construction. At the project’s site, just north of where Brady St. meets Water St, parking is always at a premium on Milwaukee’s East Side. Similar to River House’s first phase, each tower features two levels of resident parking Residents will also enjoy fitness centers and cafés among many other amenities.
In addition to the new residential towers, Greenfire is completing the construction of a 500-foot continuation of the public river walk that began with the project’s first phase. The river walk helps connect the development to the great shopping, dining and entertainment downtown Milwaukee has to offer.
Once finished, River House Phase II will introduce 205 luxury apartments featuring a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Designed by HKM Architects + Planners, Inc. and developed by Atlantic Residential, the project continues to take shape under Greenfire’s management. Despite the challenges of a tight and complex project site, Greenfire has maintained steady progress without any safety incidents.
With each milestone, River House Phase II moves closer to delivering more premier living amenities along the Milwaukee River and further bolstering Greenfire’s excellence in multi-family construction.
