This large vacant industrial property has been sold. Its future could include housing
A large vacant industrial property in West Milwaukee has been sold to a local firm that plans to redevelop it for a mix of uses, which could include housing.
Regal Rexnord Corp.’s 56-acre industrial campus, 4701 W. Greenfield Ave., is now owned by an affiliate of Phoenix Investors LLC. The sale price was $9 million, according to a deed posted online by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
The acquisition adds approximately 750,000 square feet to Phoenix’s portfolio, which now exceeds 80 million square feet nationwide.
The site’s nine buildings available for lease were constructed between 1920 and 1973, according to the Monday announcement from Phoenix.
Their features include numerous dock doors, clear heights up to 47 feet, heavy power infrastructure and ample trailer and car parking.
Also, the site has “surplus land suitable for new residential and commercial development,” the statement said.
“Phoenix and West Milwaukee have had preliminary discussions regarding possible new developments on the campus,” it said.
Phoenix plans to revitalize the Regal Rexnord property “to honor the industrial legacy of the site while incorporating other potential uses for portions of the property that will benefit the community of West Milwaukee,” said Frank P. Crivello, founder and chairman.
“The property is in a prime location and is suitable for mixed-use redevelopment. We’re confident its revitalization will bring positive progress to West Milwaukee,” Crivello said.
West Milwaukee’s other redeveloped industrial sites include Palermo Villa Inc.’s frozen pizza production facility coming to the former Froedtert Malt Corp. site, 3900 W. Lincoln Ave.

LA Clippers Announce Trade With Milwaukee Bucks

The LA Clippers did not make the blockbuster moves that the Los Angeles Lakers or Sacramento Kings did, but they made moves on the margins.
One of those moves was to send backup guard Kevin Porter Jr. to the Milwaukee Bucks in a trade for MarJon Beauchamp. The Clippers announced the trade and made it official on Friday morning.
“Beauchamp, 24, has played in 26 games with the Bucks this season, averaging 2.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 4.7 minutes. The 6-foot-7 forward has appeared in 126 games across three NBA seasons with Milwaukee, averaging 4.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 11.4 minutes. Prior to being selected with the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Beauchamp spent time with the G League Ignite and appeared in the 2022 Rising Stars during NBA All-Star Weekend,” the Clippers said.
The trade was a bit shocking from the standpoint of Kevin Porter Jr. having an important role on the Clippers. He played in 46 games for the Clippers, averaging 9.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists on 42/25/65 shooting in 19.6 minutes a game.
The Clippers used Porter so heavily that he was taking rotation minutes from long-time guard Terance Mann, who was also traded to the Atlanta Hawks.

While the Clippers have been linked to acquiring Ben Simmons after his buyout from the Brooklyn Nets, it remains to be seen who’ll take the backup point guard minutes for the team.

No arrests or charges have been made.
Thursday night, Fair’s family invited TMJ4’s Mariam Mackar to tag along as they went door-to-door just blocks away from the scene, asking for help finding the person responsible.
“We’re just going door-to-door today, seeing if there’s anything you see, any tips you may have,” said Fair’s daughter, Shyla Deacon. “This is my duty to make sure people are doing their due diligence to get criminals off the street.”

Seventy-year-old Fair was a wife, grandmother, and mother of five.
Deacon says they’ve been seeking justice ever since her death.

“It wasn’t fair. She didn’t deserve to die that day like that. It’s a tragedy that her last breath was because of somebody going 75 or 80 miles per hour in a residential area,” Deacon said.
Alongside community members, Deacon and her family left fliers in search of new tips about a person they believe was involved in Fair’s death.

It’s TMJ4’s policy not to identify a suspect until they’ve been formally charged. Milwaukee police say that hasn’t happened yet.
“We respect the police and we appreciate how they are helping the family, but we’re also going to take that initiative to knock on doors, make phone calls, put things on social media to see if we can get this guy caught,” Deacon told Mackar.
The family urges anyone with information on the hit-and-run to speak to police.
Until an arrest is made, the family says they will continue to fight for accountability.

One-Time Bucks Center Believes Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Leave Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks have one of the best players in the NBA in Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s a top-five player in the league by any measure.
He is the biggest reason why the Bucks were able to win the NBA title back in 2021 over the Phoenix Suns. As long as the Bucks have him, they think they can be a contender to win the title every year.
His presence and need to win now are part of the reason why the Bucks decided to trade for Kyle Kuzma ahead of the trade deadline. They want to maximize the time they have with Antetokounmpo.

The Bucks are terrified of losing Antetokounmpo. That’s why they traded for Kuzma this season and for Damian Lillard prior to last season.
One former Bucks player thinks that the Bucks could eventually lose Antetokounmpo. Former center DeMarcus Cousins believes he could leave if the Bucks don’t start getting closer to another title.

“As his teammate I learned there’s always truth in his humor…if the Bucks don’t work out, I could absolutely see him in Chicago.”

Cousins had some interesting things to say about what Antetokounmpo could be thinking. Speaking on Run It Back, Michele Beadle asked if Cousins could see Antetokounmpo being a Knick someday.
“One thing I learned being his teammate is that there is always truth in his humor, and he’s a lot smarter than he likes to give. So the things that he says, there’s truth in it always. So I could see that happening.”
Antetokounmpo has been vocal that he wants the Bucks to make sure they are doing everything possible to contend for titles. He wants to win, and that’s all he cares about.

Cousins thinks that if the Bucks don’t win a championship in the next couple of years, Antetokounmpo could decide that he wants to be somewhere else.
He isn’t wrong, but Antetokounmpo just re-signed with the Bucks recently. He clearly thinks that the team is trying its hardest to surround him with players who can help him win another title.
Right now, the Bucks need to focus on playing better basketball. They are just 2-5 in their last seven games and now sit fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game this season.
