Five-story project proposed for State Street

JD McCormick Properties aims to demolish three two-story buildings at 428-30, 432-436, and 440-444 State St. to build a five-story structure for restaurant, housing, and a rooftop deck, according to a Wisconsin State Journal report. The project would displace several small businesses, rental apartments on the second floor of existing structures, retailers, and the city’s Pop Up Shop Program. The new building plans call for a modernistic exterior with a mix of masonry and glass with large amounts of glass facing State Street and adjacent Lisa Link Peace Park. The basement, first, and second floors would be commercial space while upper floors would contain 23–26 housing units. McCormick is working to find new locations for existing tenants.
