Just to let y'all know, there's a somewhat interesting pull-out section on downtown neighborhoods (East Town, Westown, Brewer's Hill/Brady Street, and the Third Ward) in the most recent Biz Journal.

Thanks for bringing things back on topic.
Yes, I did catch a bit of the Downtown Housing Expo and Open House this past weekend. I didn't go on any tours, but stopped by the booths set up at Pere Marquette Park where a bunch of developers and real estate firms had lots of information to give and brochures to hand out.
Of particular note...
Architects/developers Vetter Denk broke ground for its Park Terrace project in the Beerline area along N. Commerce Street this weekend. The development consists of 21 row houses and 16 single-family homes carved into the bluff near Kilbourn Park, overlooking the Milwaukee River.

The Mandel Group is caring the RiverCrest condos into the riverside bluff just up the street. RiverCrest broke ground this past spring at the corner of N. Humboldt Boulevard and E. Commerce Street, next to the Jewel-Osco.

Wescott Real Estate and Vetter Denk are in the marketing stages for Union Point, which will be the first mixed-use building for the Beerline area. It is a retail/residential building that will be built at the corner of N. Humboldt Boulevard and E. Commerce, right in between the Park Terrace and RiverCrest projects.
***
Further downstream in the Third Ward, the Mandel Group is marketing for the Marine Terminal Lofts, which is a rehabilitation/new construction project. The existing 3-story building at N. Broadway and E. Erie Street will be renovated, with two new stories built on top of that. An extension of the RiverWalk and a new public plaza is planned to be built with this and neighborhing projects.

New Land Development has plans to break ground on the 10-story CityGreen Condominiums later this year. The condo tower is in the 1100 block of N. Marhsall Street in East Town. It is expected to be completed in 2006.
Earlier this year, New Land also broke ground for an 11-story mixed-use retail/condo tower known as the Strerling, at the corner of N. Farwell and E. Royall Place.
