Prominently positioned along Chase Ave, the busiest of Bay View's main thoroughfares, (per WisDot) with Target just one block south and a half mile from the primary grocery, big box, (Pick n Save, Home Depot, and Piggly Wiggly) and supporting retail for the neighborhood. Less than one mile to the north is the new $100M Michels development with office and luxury residential apartments, across the street from the Lincoln Warehouse businesses and 576-unit apartment development currently under construction. The large commercial area to the north and across the street is one of three areas identified as a priority redevelopment site in the Bay View 2040 plan developed by the city of Milwaukee last year. Montana is a residential street and just one of four that connect Chase Ave directly into the heart of Bay View. Humboldt Park is four blocks east and home to Chill on the Hill, 4th of July Fireworks, The Vine Beer Garden, and Pumpkin Pavilion. Chase serves as a main connector between I-94 and the surrounding areas as well as a thoroughfare into and out of surrounding neighborhoods. Given its visibility, this location will quickly gain customer awareness in the area and only increase as the surrounding areas continue to redevelop.
This 3,400+ sq ft property has operated under its original design since it was built in 1962 and is suited for equipment with significant weight and power requirements. The building sits on a radiant heated slab with a single beam supported by posts through the center. The front portion has a small office section that can be configured as needed. With overhead-door access directly into the main space, the building offers maximum flexibility for use and layout. Additionally, the property consists of substantial exterior land that originally housed a parking lot before being transitioned to grass. This allows for space to convert back into dedicated parking and/or provides an option for a large exclusive patio area that is not possible with many space-constrained neighborhood options. The masonry exterior wall construction lends itself to modifications required for the business and the mid-century detailing facing Chase Ave gives it an understated, but memorable appeal.
