A rendering of two seven-story apartment buildings seen from above Pennsylvania Avenue and North Third Street on the East Side. New Land Enterprises, of Milwaukee, is proposing a larger development that also includes the former Scanlan-Morris Company factory directly to the south.
The former Scanlan-Morris Company factory, 1902 E. Johnson St., began as a smaller brick-and-concrete building over a century ago and was later expanded. Parts of the facility would be renovated under a proposal that calls for demolishing several nearby industrial buildings, at right, to make way for approximately 500 apartments.
New Land Enterprises is under contract to buy the former Scanlan-Morris Company factory, center, and other buildings behind it from Hooper Corporation, the developer said in a submittal to the city. The developer is proposing apartments along with commercial, retail, office and outdoor space at the site.
The developer proposing a multi-part project along Pennsylvania Avenue is assessing whether the sand-colored building at 2010 Pennsylvania Ave., center right, can be kept and repurposed. “The idea is to save as much of it as possible,” New Land Enterprises’ Tim Gokhman said.
The former Scanlan-Morris Company factory at the intersection of East Johnson Street and Pennsylvania Avenue is a hodgepodge of different materials and architectural styles. The oldest part of the building opened in 1907 and was remodeled after a 1914 fire, the Wisconsin State Journal reported at the time.
