Gorman & Company has announced the completion and grand opening of Union Corners, a 252-unit, mixed-use, mixed-income community located at the intersections of East Washington Avenue, Winnebago Street, and Milwaukee Street.
The grand opening celebration will be held on Wednesday, July 12, at 4 p.m. and is open to the public.
Union Corners is a 10-year, multiphased project on a 13-acre parcel of formerly vacant land. Phase IV, called Nexus at Union Corners, opened its doors in 2022. Nexus consists of 105 market-rate, luxury apartments.
Phase I began with building a new home for the UW Health Clinic and Urgent Care. Completed in late 2016, the medical clinic serves approximately 92,000 patient visits per year with over 100 employees.
Phase II, Carbon at Union Corners, was the first residential phase of the Union Corners redevelopment, adding new housing and retail within two mixed-use buildings connected by a pedestrian plaza. Carbon features 76 affordable apartments and 14 market-rate units, underground parking for residents, and a ground floor neighborhood retail space, including restaurant space.
Generations at Union Corners, Phase III of the project, was completed in 2018 and consists of 60 units total between two buildings, a mix of 56 affordable and four market-rate units for families.
This site is a former Civil War Union soldier encampment and home to the Schulkamp’s Corner Saloon, also known as Union House Tavern. Gorman & Company will honor the history of this site by installing three permanent art pieces created by Becky Ault and Mike Cunningham from the Art Design Group.
The grand opening celebration will feature a menu sampling from the new restaurant located within Carbon called Touch of Ukraine, entertainment by Ladies Must Swing, Quick Chef food cart, Momma Meg’s Ice Cream Truck, as well as the unveiling of the permanent art installations honoring the Union soldiers, the Union House Tavern, and the French Battery and Carbon Company that all previously called this location home.
