FPC Live will break ground on Milwaukee music venue in the spring
Madison-based FPC Live announced it will break ground for a 4,500-person venue in Milwaukee’s Deer District in April. City officials approved the project more than a year ago, but the owner returned to the drawing board with a smaller venue when construction costs rose.
In November, the Common Council unanimously approved plans for the venue at 1051 N. Vel R. Phillips Ave. FPC Live, an affiliate of Live Nation, originally had plans for two separate venues for $50 million but amended to make one instead. Promoters said the original project was hit by rising construction costs and interest rates; the amended project will cost around $60 million.
Now, the promoter is on a timeline to break ground in April and launch full construction in May, a spokesperson said. Previously, officials said construction will take place on an 18-month timeline and wrap up in 2025.
Miron Construction is the general contractor for the project. The company recently submitted requests to construct the foundation and footings for $33.9 million, according to an application.
