In my more than 15 years of Downtown living I've toured many homes, countless developments and lived in three different buildings. This doesn't make me a housing expert, but I do think I have a decent eye for what's good, design-friendly and marketable.
In general, the Downtown housing market is still rather young so buzz about new developments, density and perceived saturation is still aplenty. Indeed, like any neighborhood, there are countless options, many price points and several different looks, feels and amenities. I've seen many of them and am going to start regularly blogging about my tours and visits to the different developments. I'll handle each in a similar manner: a general overview, photos and six key observations.
Last week, I had the chance to tour the "new," Point on the River. The condominium homes located in the Historic Third Ward and Fifth Ward neighborhoods are a combination of new and existing buildings that provide striking views of the city. Originally known as First Place on the River, the more than $60 million development at 106 W. Seeboth St., overlooks both the Milwaukee and Menomonee Rivers.
Now led by the Mandel Group and marketed by Garrison Partners Consulting, Point on the River delivers one of the most innovative and stunning sales centers that I've ever seen in Milwaukee. I loved the Residences at the Palomar's presentation in it sales center, but this one takes the cake. Interactive maps, floor plans and more are all at the touch of your fingers at the sales center. The kiosk there also has every design in the building so you don't have to personally tour the 50-plus floor plans. It's a great space and the views from its massive patio are breathtaking.
Here are six observations about this striking riverfront development:

I thought the article mentioned the Fifth Ward as well. Gets a little confusing because The Point On The River actually adjoins the Historic Third Ward where the two rivers meet but it's still located in the 5th Ward. Just means they enjoy the best of both worlds.

Point on the River aka First Place on the River is actually in Walker's Point! it's south of the river so that makes it Walker's Point or 5th Ward. I have noticed many condo projects/business list that they are in the Third Ward but are actually south of the Milwaukee River which makes it Walker's Point. Are these businesses ashamed of saying they are in Walker's Point aka: 5th Ward? I would change your article to reflect the proper location of this condo project that it is actually Walker's Point.
