Post obituaries guidelines new urban office — includ- ing Chicago and New York — but Milwaukee ultimately was chosen. "We realized that we are cheeseheads at heart," Michels said of the decision to be part of the new project, which is being known as RIVER 1. He added, "The Michels family is proud to make this historic investment to grow Wisconsin and Milwaukee." The new Michels office is serving as the linchpin of a broader development project on a 6-acre site that straddles the Bay View and Walker's Point neighborhoods, in addition to Milwaukee's bur- geoning Harbor District area. Several companies, in addition to Michels, have been intricately involved in the new project, which car- ries a $100 million valuation and will be located at the corner of Becher and First streets. The Kinnickinnic River also is situated along the site. Details for RIVER 1 were unveiled early this month. Michels said the tentative timeline calls for a ground- breaking this fall and the first phase of development slated for a summer 2020 opening. Removal continues As summer winds down, remnants of the former Horny Goat site are being hauled away in preparation for the imminent ground breaking. The microbrew- er's building has been razed, and construction fencing is situated alongside the perimeter of the property as crews remove concrete and other debris. A few ancillary buildings also have been met with the wrecking ball, including a historic pumping station, to facilitate the new project. At a news conference early this month, Alderman Tony Zielinski said he sup- ported demolition of the his- toric structure because of the trade-off it presented to bring in new development. "What's happening here is a rare opportunity, and we're going to take advan- tage of that," said Zielinski, who represents the redevel- opment site within his alder- manic district. Mayor Tom Barrett, who also was present at the news conference, lauded the proj- ect, which he described as "an incredible gateway into the community." Barrett at the event said he viewed RIVER 1 as a nat- ural progression of the development that has been taking place to the north in the city's downtown. "This city is truly under- going a renaissance right now," Barrett said. "We could see that there was a vision here. This is a very, very significant announce- ment. This is special." In totality, the RIVER 1 project will encompass 220,000 square feet of office space, according to details furnished when it first was announced early this month. The project also calls for 67 units of multifamily housing, 19,000 square feet of retail and a 103-room hotel. Rounding out the develop- ment is the planned installa- tion of nearly 1,000 under- ground parking spaces. In addition to Michels, members of the RIVER 1 project team include Rinka Chung Architecture, Wired Properties, the Barry Company and Nation Consulting. RIVER 1: Plans call for office, multifamily, hotel, retail space continued from Page 1 Submitted rendering The RIVER 1 project will be a multiuse development, with the first phase planned for opening in summer 2020. It will be on the site of the former Horny Goat microbrewery, overlooking the Kinnickinnic River.
