A parking lot spanning an entire city block in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin will be developed into a $32.4 million mixed-use development with 168 residential units, according to an article by Jessica Goska for NBC 26.

"Green Bay's city council this week approved the plan for the two-and-a-half acre property off the 200 block of North Monroe Street. Developer Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions will lead the three-phase project, which has been years in the making." The city-owned lot has been empty since 2018. 

According to Goska, "Phase one will include site remediation and the construction of 80 rental apartments on the northwest corner of the lot, at a cost of at least $13.6 million," Phase two will add a 60-unit apartment building and phase three will add 28 townhomes. "Work on phase one is expected to begin later this year, with the entire development projected to be complete by 2031."
