Police say the site of Shorewood's soon-to-be Walgreens store was entered, and windows and radios damaged.
Police say they are unsure how entry was gained to the construction site of the new Walgreens in Shorewood during a burglary sometime overnight on Wednesday. About $2,500 in damage was caused to two windows and four radios in the soon-to-be home of the retailer. Police say there were no signs of forced entry. There were no reports of stolen property from the site. Walgreens is moving across the street from its current location at 4081 N. Oakland Ave. into the new LightHorse 4041 or Mandel Group development this spring.

Operating engineering workers say construction contractor VJS hired untrained carpenters to operate a crane in lieu of their labor group, endangering the public in the process.
Picketing union operation engineer workers have taken to the sidewalks in front of the Mandel Group development site to protest not being hired for work they believe they were promised and are more qualified for. Pewaukee-based construction company VJS didn't hire the labor group after advising they would get the work, said Greg West, International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 139, Business Representative. Instead, West said, the company is using carpenters to operate a large crane on the site of the new $34.8 million Lighthorse 4041 development, which will include 84 apartments, a 18,000 square foot Walgreens retail store and two parking structures with 200 stalls. “This freak show could have ended in the first hour,” West said of…

Despite a new two-story parking structure behind the Shorewood grocery store available to customers, owner John Nehring says business has waned as a six-story apartment and retail development sprouts in his parking lot.
As a new apartment and retail development takes root in its parking lot, Sendik's in Shorewood has seen sales wane. "It has affected business, there's no doubt about it," said John Nehring, who co-owns the independent store with his wife Anne. A two-story parking structure constructed behind the grocery store — part of Milwaukee developer the Mandel Group’s new $34.8 million, six-story development — was supposed to help. But Nerhing said he saw a slight drop in business — somewhere between 5 to 10 percent — at that point. Then when construction moved to his parking lot at 4027 N. Oakland Ave., traffic into the store declined even more, though he couldn’t put a figure on the drop. Nehring said the transition just hasn't been as smooth as he…

While it's unclear what the grocery giant has planned for Shorewood, officials have been discussing redevelopment of Oakland Avenue store in closed meetings over the past month.
Is Shorewood and Roundy's prepping to pull the trigger on a redevelopment project at the village's Pick 'n Save? Village Community Development Authority Chairman Pete Petrie said last year that the grocery store giant has been looking to possibly expand its store at 4145 N. Oakland Ave. It's been quiet on that front until recently; development officials have began discussing redevelopment of the grocery store's block in closed session CDA meetings. Petrie nor Village Manager Chris Swartz could be reached for comment on Tuesday. The CDA was scheduled to enter closed session to discuss the site most recently on Friday, but Petrie said the committee wouldn't enter talks not because of Roundy's, but rather the village hadn't done what it …

Finding parking near Oakland and Capitol may be tough right now, but stalls has opened in the new parking structure behind Sendik's to ease the flow. Take the one-way driveway from Oakland or a two-way drive access from Bartlett.
With heavy construction in the area, it's tough finding a parking spot near East Capitol Drive and North Oakland Avenue. But, as part of a $34.8 million, six-story apartment and retail development slowly sprouting in the Sendik's parking lot at 4027 N. Oakland Ave., a parking structure has been erected behind the grocer, and workers opened the ramp earlier this week. Take the one-way driveway from Oakland Avenue to gain access to the new parking. Additionally, there is a two-way drive access from North Bartlett Avenue. Milwaukee developers the Mandel Group warn that while the ramp is in service now, exterior construction work will continue until the end of August, according to the village. Therefore, there may be temporary changes of …

Village officials targeting former Catholic Family Life Insurance office building for new development opportunities, among other sites.
With two developments either under or soon-to-be under construction, village officials are shifting their focus on other potential development sites in Shorewood. The office building at 1572 E. Capitol Dr., which formerly housed Catholic Family Life Insurance, has been targeted as a site for new development opportunity. Catholic Knights left the building vacant after moving to a new home in downtown Milwaukee. Shorewood Community Development Authority Chairperson Pete Petrie said there is currently a Realtor trying to fill the vacancy, but he and other officials are looking long term and at possible development. However, Petrie said officials don't have anything solid in mind for the building. Shorewood is also looking at the River Park …

I'd like to know if it is legal for them to park that crane overhanging Oakland Ave and the buildings on the east side of the street at the Light Horse location at night and on the weekends or whenever they are not working. . I can't seem to get an answer to that. All I know is that when I see it that way in even a slight wind it makes me nervous. Seems like it should be hanging over the building. more ›
