Brewery building sold in Milwaukee for MKE Brewing, offices and self storage

MILWAUKEE -- Local real estate investor Scott Lurie today is buying a large former Pabst Brewing Co. shipping center near downtown Milwaukee and will rehab it into a new space for Milwaukee Brewing Co., offices and self-storage units.

The roughly 176,000-square-foot building is at North Eighth Street and West Juneau Avenue, in the former Pabst Brewing Co. corporate campus. Lurie said he plans to begin rehab work on the building next week after completing its purchase today.

About 68,000 square feet will be leased to Milwaukee Brewing, which plans to rehab it for a brewing operation, along with tours and a tasting room. The brewery will occupy the space at the corner of Ninth Street and Juneau Avenue, Lurie said.
