Bucks Eye Three Downtown Properties For New Arena Site, Plan Mixed-Use Development

The Bucks "have their sights set on downtown property now occupied by Journal Communications, the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena and the Milwaukee Theatre as the future home of a new, multipurpose arena," according to Don Walker of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Sources said that the three properties make up "the Bucks' dream site because of its proximity to county-owned Pere Marquette Park, located on N. Old World 3rd St. on the Milwaukee River, and the rest of downtown." One source said that the Bucks' new owners "want to fast-track the site-selection process." The team also has "visions of demolishing the BMO Harris Bradley Center and creating what is expected to be a mixed-use development involving retail, commercial and residential." The Bucks have publicly said that "no final decision has been made on what site is preferred, nor has the team or the business community outlined how the project will be financed" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 11/2).
