Condo development with 15 townhomes planned for downtown Milwaukee’s northern edge
A local developer wants to build 15 townhome-style condos on downtown Milwaukee’s northern edge.
Cirrus Property Group LLC is seeking a zoning change for the properties at 1524, 1540 and 1546 North Jefferson Street, according to a new Common Council file. The council could consider that ordinance in September.
Cirrus plans to build three-story, 2,000-square-foot townhomes on the site, said John Riordan, founder and chief executive officer.
The three-bedroom condos would include terraces as well as possible rooftop amenity space, Riordan told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Cirrus hopes to break ground by April, he said, with the condos taking eight to 10 months to construct. The listed sale prices haven’t yet been determined.
The firm hopes to take advantage of a lack of condo development in Milwaukee since the 2006 housing bubble burst, Riordan said.
“There’s really no supply there,” he said.
Condos within short walk of Fiserv Forum, other attractions
The site is attractive because it’s within walking distance of such attractions as East Brady Street and Fiserv Forum, as well as near a variety of downtown workplaces, Riordan said.
The proposal surfaces just over three weeks after the Historic Third Ward Architectural Review Board granted approval for architect and developer Peter Renner’s long-delayed plans to develop 13 three-story townhomes at 620 E. Summerfest Place (formerly known as East Polk Street).
Renner said construction might begin next spring.
The Jefferson Street development would replace a former child care center that would be demolished. A previous plan by Apacchi Capital to develop a three-story, 10,500-square-foot commercial building and four townhomes on that site was dropped in 2022.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
