DNR denies making determination on Couture site

June 4, 2013 4:52 pm Leave a comment

Developer Rick Barrett is negotiating with Milwaukee County to buy property on the Milwaukee lakefront to build The Couture (second from left), an estimated $120 million, 44-story high-rise building on the footprint of the Downtown Transit Center. Preserve Our Parks officials say the transit center was built on filled-in lakebed. If that’s the case, the group argued, The Couture could not be built on the property because it would fall under the Public Trust Doctrine, which limits the land to public use.
