Bear Development Spearheads Largest Affordable Housing Initiative in Wisconsin

Former Filer and Stowell site being demolished to make way for The Corliss, a historical affordable housing development in MKE
Bear Development is set to revolutionize Milwaukee’s south side with the largest private affordable housing project in Wisconsin, boasting eight new buildings with a total of 576 units. Emphasizing sustainability, the project involves the environmentally conscious deconstruction of the former Filer & Stowell factory complex. With a significant investment of $205 million and leveraging state and city financial incentives, Bear Development is not only creating affordable homes but also contributing to the city’s economic and social fabric. The project, backed by a blend of tax credits and city grants, exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to urban development and affordable housing.
