river place lofts
River Place Lofts opened in 2015 in the heart of Milwaukee, bringing new life to the city’s historic riverfront. Set within the former Pfister & Vogel Leather Company grounds, the community has been reimagined to honor the city’s industrial past while embracing a more modern way of living.
Composed of four distinct buildings: Beam House, Docks Building, Finishing House, and Power House, each offering a curated collection of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments. Throughout the property, original architectural details are paired with luxury, contemporary design, creating a beautifully balanced living experience.
More than a place to live, River Place Lofts is a curated community where heritage, comfort, and connection come together.
