MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Common Council gave its stamp of approval for the development of a high-end hotel in the Brady Street neighborhood.
Alders voted to approve a zoning change that will allow an 11-story hotel with about 130 rooms to be constructed at 1709-1723 North Farwell Avenue.
Along with a hotel, the development would house a restaurant, rooftop bar and parking.
"I think biggest benefit we're going to see from this is increased potential for pedestrian and bike safety in the area, increased tax base, and more opportunities for the daytime business people walking around spending money, exploring Brady Street," District 3 Alderman Jonathan Brostoff told reporters.
Brostoff added that council approval was clearing a major hurdle but some more steps are needed, including the licensing for the restaurant. Residents will also have more chances to talk about other concerns, including parking.
"There will be some more opportunities for some neighborhood input, some more opportunities for the folks behind it to make some decisions, but ultimately we'll come up with something that will be a great addition to the neighborhood and a great addition to Milwaukee," Brostoff said.
Construction could begin as early as this year.
