The project is sponsored by Beerline Crossing LLC., a special entity created to help in the transformation of prior vacant underutilized industrial property in the Port Washington corridor of the Riverworks Industrial District. This Riverworks area at one time employed thousands of industrial employees through corporations like American Motors Corporation and Chrysler. Over the last fifteen years, the City of Milwaukee and the City of Glendale have initiated a series of office, light industrial, warehouse and retail projects that focused on redefining this area into regional powerhouse. The Beerline Crossing’s project is a multi-phased redevelopment effort to turn underutilized properties into a regional mixed-use development project supporting this effort.
