Retail for Lease
Walker's Point Corner Suite with 1.6 Million Annual Visits
Vetter. Building
161 S 1st St, Ste 100, Milwaukee, WI 53204
Walker’s Point’s iconic corner, where industrial grit meets a buzzing creative scene.
Walker’s Point wakes up slow and golden. Morning sunlight bounces off old warehouses that now host cafés, roasters, and creative studios. By evening, those same blocks flip into a buzz of farm-to-table diners, cocktail bars, and people chasing what’s new.
It’s a neighborhood that traded foundries for cafés and makerspaces—
And still keeps the industrial grit under all that fresh energy.
Inside the Vetter. Building
A few things hit you immediately:
- Floor-to-ceiling glass wrapping the corner, pulling in daylight from every direction.
- Lofty, industrial-chic ceilings that keep the bones of the building visible.
- And, yes, this space really did once run as a late-night jazz club before its remodel.
- Upstairs: a shared rooftop terrace with rare city views, built for golden hour.
Your Spot in the Neighborhood Routine
From sunrise to last call, this corner sees the full Walker’s Point cycle:
