KinetiK Apartments is a new mixed-use development at Kinnickinnic Avenue and East Bay Street in Milwaukee. The property has 16,500 square feet of retail space, parking and 140 apartment units on four floors.
New Land built the development site through its affiliate, Hamburger Lofts LLC, by purchasing various parcels. The core of the site, a 0.8-acre lot at 2130 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., was most recently occupied by a Hamburger Mary’s restaurant. New Land purchased it for $1.25 million in 2017. The now-deconstructed building once on the site was originally built for Burger King, in 1985, and later housed an Omega restaurant. Three homes along the alley-like Archer Avenue were deconstructed. The site of one will be used for a new alley that will connecting the street with East Bay Street. The city of Milwaukee granted a zoning change for the project in 2017 and approved the vacating of Archer Avenue in 2018.
KinetiK’s two-floor concrete base holds 183 parking stalls, commercial space and building features. In addition to its food hall, the 6-story building includes studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Every apartment has zoned air conditioning, heated floors, an in-unit washer and dryer, a dishwasher and other features.
