Tallest mass timber building proposed for Milwaukee

A former parking lot in Milwaukee could soon be repurposed to include both the tallest mass timber building in the world and the tallest building in Wisconsin.

Mixed-use developer The Neutral Project has proposed to build multiple mixed-use buildings with a total investment of more than $700 million.

Over several phases, the project could include up to 750 residential units, 17,651 m² (190,000 sf) of office space, 3,716 m² (40,000 sf) of retail space, 300 hotel rooms, 1,100 structured parking spaces, and public plazas, and walkways.

Milwaukee is also home to the world’s current tallest mass timber building—25-story Ascent.
