MILWAUKEE - Schlitz Park’s owners are seeking a $1.25 million loan for environmental cleanup from the Milwaukee redevelopment authority.

The cleanup is the third phase of renovations to the office complex, and includes renovating and cleaning the neighboring Stockhouse and Executive buildings facing North Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive for 150,000 square feet of new office space. Another Schlitz building will also be torn down to create a 1-acre public space. 

The redevelopment authority on May 16 will consider the $1.25 million loan request.

The Milwaukee Economic Development Corp. on May 14 will review a separate request for a $900,000 loan to renovate the existing RiverCenter building in Schlitz Park for a new tenant with 260 jobs.
