Located on the eastern edge of the Washington Park Partners neighborhood and adjacent to the 30th St. Industrial Corridor, Autumn West is the part of a revitalization effort taking place on Milwaukee’s Old West Side.  The building itself presents an important example of planned infill that utilizes unimproved or vacant space.  Constructed on the site of an underused city parking lot, the three story building presents an attractive facade and landscaping and its overall appearance is of a thoughtful and well-designed facility that stresses functionality without the sterility of many similar structures.  The presence of the new development will help stabilize and even spur additional investment in reuse and rehabilitation of existing storefronts and commercial properties.  The building incorporates green design elements and is poised to become an accessible resource to the community.
