Mandel Group Inc. recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction of the second phase of its North End project, located along the Milwaukee River at the intersection of Water and Pleasant streets in downtown Milwaukee.
The project will consist of two buildings, one along Pleasant Street and the other along the river, with 155 apartments. About 22 percent of the apartments will be offered at “affordable” rental rates. The first phase of the North End project, completed in 2009, was a five-story building with 83 apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail space.
