Milwaukee Biz Blog: The two Milwaukees
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…” – Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
Luxury Homes
Waterfront homes
In southeastern Wisconsin, we love the water for fishing, swimming and boating. Our region is blessed with great freshwater resources, from massive Lake Michigan to numerous inland lakes, especially in western Waukesha County's Lake Country area.
For many seeking the good life here, nothing beats a luxury home right on the water. Here you will find some of the best waterfront residential properties currently on the market in the region. Get the boat. Grab your fishing pole. Put on your swimsuit, and move right in.

Pieces falling into place for Drexel Town Square
Seven years after the Delphi plant in Oak Creek closed and five years after that plant was demolished, the puzzle pieces are coming together for the mixed-use Drexel Town Square development project on the 85-acre site the plant once occupied southwest of Drexel and Howell avenues.
City officials have worked for years with a development team led by Wispark LLC to create a mixed-use development at the site that would form a downtown for a community that has never had one.
Now, some parts of the project are opening, others have made significant progress and still others have started construction recently.
“We're very happy with the way it's coming together,” said Doug Seymour, director of community development for Oak Creek. “There was a lot of upfront planning. It is a very complicated project. Complicated projects take time.”
The eastern half of the project is more of a typical suburban style development and will be anchored by a big box store and surrounded by smaller retail and restaurant buildings.

Here comes Meijer
Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Meijer Inc. is finally about to make its much-anticipated entry into southeastern Wisconsin. The addition of Meijer seems sure to shake up the region’s already highly competitive grocery market.
