Riverwest Apartments and Food Accelerator

This project consists of a single, four-story building with 91 apartment units, the Riverwest Food Accelerator, 58 enclosed parking stalls, 37 surface parking stalls, and 11 street parking stalls. 85% of units are targeted for families from 30% to 60% of County Medium Income. The Project includes 83 affordable units with income limits and 8 market rate units, with “a subset” of 19 units serving those with a permanent developmental, physical, sensory, medical, or mental health disability.

The heart of the concept is the Riverwest Food Accelerator (the “Accelerator”). The Accelerator will be a visible demonstration kitchen and education space with a focus on fresh food, cooking, nutrition education, and food-oriented entrepreneurship. Residents may participate in various programs and classes offered through the Project’s Food Accelerator as well as programs hosted onsite by other organizations. In addition, residents will have access to a variety of supportive services and counseling through a referral agreement with the Milwaukee County Aging and Disability Resource Center and the Milwaukee Veterans Service Office.
