"Now that the former brownfield along the Milwaukee River has been reborn as the booming Beerline redevelopment zone, density is a hot topic. Old-timers (a relative term in a neighborhood so young) are defending their turf, and newcomers are pitting the quality of their projects against those that came before. Such growing pains are both inevitable and healthy.
...[A]s developable land has gotten scarcer and pricier, density, too, has increased - to the point that some residents are now balking. The Edge, a 5 1/2 -story condo project proposed by Tandem Developers for a site just east of the Holton St. viaduct, has raised the hackles of neighbors in the two- and three-story River Homes next door."
