City of Milwaukee Request for Proposal: 2231 N Martin Luther King

2231 North Martin Luther King
The City of Milwaukee is taking requests for proposals on a vacant piece of land located at 2231 N Martin Luther King Blvd. in Milwaukee. The asking price is $93,750, but given the great location, the actual winning bid may be more. The city is looking for a pedestrian scaled building, from 2-5 stories tall. And, while some may first think of high-grossing businesses for this busy block, the city does have some prohibited uses:
Prohibited uses include churches, convenience stores, check-cashing facility, cigarette or cigar shops, community center, day care centers, gun shops; and social service facilities, pawn shops, liquor stores, payday or auto-title loan stores, automotive parts store, surface parking as a primary use, second-hand retail outlets, taverns (unless food service is the major component) and all other tax-exempt uses.
Personally, I would like to see a restaurant/club at this location. Soche and Gee's Clipers and Hair Design, two local businesses located nearby, have done quite well on this street. In addition there has been plenty of press about proposed developments in this area. This may be the perfect opportunity for someone to join the Milwaukee Bronzeville revitalization. The deadline to submit the RFP is July 1, 2008. For more information on the RFP, please visit the City of Milwaukee web site: Milwaukee DCD For more information on King Drive and Bronzeville, visit these resources: King Drive BID Bronzeville As always, if you need assistance planning and submitting a RFP for this property, please feel free to contact me by phone at (414) 899-3972 or by email.
