Well that stinks.

They got the foundation completed.

Now the site will sit empty.

Let's hope they can figure out the money and get the project back on track soon.

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.
