Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Old Pabst keg house reborn as living space

There have been many newsworthy stories brewing at The Brewery in recent months. Back in 2006, the former Pabst Brewery was purchased by Milwaukee real estate investor, Joseph Zilber. Since 2006, Zilber has been selling off parcels to different real estate developers. One such developer is Gorman & Company, who has converted the keg house of The Pabst Brewery into affordable apartment units.

The apartment, called Blue Ribbon Brewery Lofts, is a 95-unit apartment building featuring units at market and below-market rents. The first new residents of The Brewery are beginning to move into the newly-created neighborhood. Gorman & Company expect full occupancy by the end of February.


Blue Ribbon Brewery Lofts features one, two, and three bedroom floor plans. The typical apartment unit features tall ceilings, exposed brick, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The tenants of the lofts also enjoy indoor parking, fitness room, and media center.


The Brewery is a feel-good story for the Park East. Current economic conditions and tight lending practices forced many projects to be canceled in the Park East.
