• Converts vacant, unused space into vibrant housing with professional neighbors

• Places the units back on the tax rolls, supporting the City of Milwaukee and local taxpayers

• Survey of new teachers showed Bay View is a desirable neighborhood

Why the former Dover Elementary School

Building lends itself to adaptive re-use • 66,629 SF building constructed in 1890 & 1893

• Three stories with ADA challenges

• 23 classrooms suitable for apartment use

• Gymnasium, auditorium, cafeteria and kitchen offer potential for common areas and housing

• 4.56-acre lot with a large playground/parking lot that may be suitable for additional compatible housing

RFP Project Requirements

• Convert building to provide multi-family housing targeted for teachers with an emphasis on market-rate, but affordable units (rezoning would allow multiple units)

• Propose a marketing strategy to allow a mix of teacher experiences is encouraged

• Provide additional housing along Dover and Potter that are compatible with the neighborhood (City design guidelines included)

• Include common areas to foster resident interaction and peer collaboration

• Centralize parking to minimize adverse neighborhood impacts

RFP Project Requirements

• Add attractive landscaping with vegetable and rain gardens in the existing green space

• Retain existing tot lot for public use

• Critical timing because proposals involve WHEDA tax credits with a January 30, 2014 application deadline

• RFP prohibited commercial uses at the property and prohibition will be included in Development Agreement

• Development Agreement will require developer to apply for Detailed Planned Development zoning before closing to institutionalize uses and prevent changes without public input
