The United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainability
as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet theirs."
Accordingly, The Brewery Project Team has embraced sustainability as one of its primary goals
and believes that creating a sustainable neighborhood will positively influence the environment,
the people who will live and/or work there, and the financial success of the project.
The Brewery Project will involve a diverse group of participants such as The Brewery Project
Team, The City of Milwaukee, building owners, and design teams with varying needs and
goals. The Sustainability Guidelines were created to give a holistic understanding of
sustainability and describe how specific sustainable concepts are required, or strongly
encouraged, for implementation into the project.
To demonstrate at the outset the commitment to sustainability, The Brewery Project became
registered by the US Green Building Council as a LEED for Neighborhood Development Pilot
Project. The Brewery Project Team uses the international rating system as a guide and
measuring tool as they go through the process of transforming the abandoned Pabst
Brewing Company site into a mixed use sustainable neighborhood.
As the master developer, Brewery Project LLC, along with the City of Milwaukee, are setting
a high standard of sustainability by preparing the site with the preservation of historic buildings,
existing building reuse, recycling of construction demolition, contamination abatement, new
infrastructure, landscaping, pocket parks, street lighting, and centralized parking, to mention
a few of the many positive improvements that are in the process of being made. It is the hope
of The Brewery Project that the new building owners will take the efforts and commitment that
has been established and build upon them by incorporating a high level of sustainability into
their buildings and manage to create a truly sustainable community.
Thank you for your interest.
