This development started out as a class project by two African– American Women as part of the ACRE (Associates in Commercial Real Estate) program through Marquette University. The two women, Tina Anderson and Sherry Webb approached Wisconsin Redevelopment to take their class project from a dream to a reality.

Located in the Muskego Way neighborhood and built on what was once a city-owned vacant brownfield lot, Mitchell Street Market Lofts is a new construction affordable housing development. This $6.1 million project is a true partnership between public and private entities including Impact Seven, Inc., AndersonWebb, LLC, Wisconsin Redevelopment, LLC, WHEDA, Federal Home Loan Bank, Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage District, City of Milwaukee, LISC Milwaukee, and Home Depot.
