Construction has been halted for several months on The Edison, a $230-million, 32-story mass timber-concrete hybrid tower in downtown Milwaukee. Now, the project’s general contractor has filed more than $14 million in construction liens against the developer for unpaid work on The Edison and on a second project in Madison, Wis.

C.D. Smith Construction, based in Fond du Lac, Wis., filed a $10.15-million construction lien against The Edison SPE LLC, an affiliate of Madison-based Neutral, for work on The Edison. When announced in 2024, the 378-unit tower was expected to become the tallest mass timber building in North America, surpassing the 25-story Ascent in Milwaukee.

The second lien—totaling $4.1 million—was filed for Baker’s Place, a 13-story, 206-unit apartment building in Madison that was completed in May. That project was also developed by Neutral.
