Construction begins for FPC Live’s Deer District music venue
Posted by Miron Construction
Construction of FPC Live‘s $60 million indoor music venue in downtown Milwaukee’s Deer District began Thursday.
The venue, which will have a capacity for 4,500 spectators in a ballroom-style setting, was originally proposed in early 2022 and underwent a contentious zoning approval process before project leaders scrapped their initial plans for a two venue facility in the face of increased construction costs and interest rates.
“We’ve got everything lined up now, there’s steel on the site and a pile driver and a crane,” said Joel Plant, chief executive officer of Frank Productions, the parent company of Madison-based concert promoter FPC Live. “We’re beginning test piles today and away we go.”
