An opportunity for you to build that real estate dream …

Whether you are purchasing land from the City of Milwaukee to build a new home for yourself, an investment property or a place for your business, we will make your experience a memorable one.

And, we have streamlined our sales procedures to eliminate time-consuming approval processes. All you need to do is submit an offer to purchase on our standard sale contract and then you can get to work on those final construction plans!

So that everyone has fair opportunity to purchase publicly owned land, and in the interest of growing our neighborhoods, we do not sell on a speculative basis. If you are ready to build, we are ready to sell.

Here’s how it works:

	Select a site.
	Ask a builder or architect about your plans to be sure that they will conform to zoning and that they will be appropriate for the neighborhood in all respects.
	Talk to a lender about your financing needs.
	Then make us a reasonable offer if you are prepared to go forward now.
It’s that simple. After we accept your offer, you will be required to:
	Close the sale within 90 days.
	Complete new home construction within 9 months of closing.
	Complete commercial construction within a mutually agreeable time frame.
In order to close, you must do two things:
	Submit final construction plans for our review and approval.
	Submit copies of firm financing commitments in amounts necessary to complete your project.
Here’s what you need to know about lot and plan approval:
	The City of Milwaukee expects that all real estate development projects will be designed in ways that respect the environment. This generally means that structures are sympathetic to neighborhood context in terms of site planning and building proportions, and, that land uses are not threatening to the community’s health and safety.
	Larger parcels of land will be divided in a manner that is consistent with present neighborhood platting.

If you are unsure about the appropriateness of your plans in terms of lot size, land use or design, please don’t hesitate to call us at 414-286-5674 before submitting your offer.
