The city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 110 high-rise buildings,[1] 43 of which stand taller than 200 ft (61 m). The majority of the city's high-rises are located between Interstate 94, the Milwaukee River, and Lake Michigan, with an additional string of high-rises extending north along the lake. The tallest building in Milwaukee, and Wisconsin, is the 42-story, 601 ft (183 m) tall, U.S. Bank Center, which was completed in 1973.[2] The second-tallest is the 32-story, 826 ft (252 m) tall, Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons. building, completed in 2017.[3]
The history of skyscrapers in Milwaukee began with the Pabst Building. Completed in 1891, and standing 235 ft (72 m) tall, it was Milwaukee's first skyscraper. It was the tallest building in the city until City Hall was completed four years later.[4] The Pabst Building was demolished in 1981, and 100 East Wisconsin now stands on the site. For nearly eighty years, from 1895 to 1973, the Milwaukee City Hall dominated the skyline, and was at the time of its completion, the tallest habitable building in the United States.[5] The city experienced a building boom in the mid- to late-1980s whereby five of the twelve tallest buildings in the city were constructed between 1985 and 1991. But a second building boom in the twenty-first century includes the construction of the Moderne, a skyscraper with luxury condominiums, the 833 East Michigan office building, the Potawatomi Casino Hotel, and the Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons, all constructed since 2012. Future skyscrapers include the 44-story, 537 ft tall, Couture, a mixed-use tower with high-end residential apartments and retail space, the 34-story, 387 ft tall, Northwestern Mutual Residential Tower, the 25-story, 335 ft tall, BMO Harris Financial Center, and a second Potawatomi Casino Tower, resulting in nine of the fifteen tallest buildings in the city having been constructed since 2005.[6]
