140 W Garfield Ave presents a compelling commercial investment opportunity in Milwaukee’s Brewers Hill neighborhood, near N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., W. North Ave., downtown Milwaukee, and the growing Bronzeville corridor. Originally built in 1887 as the Second German Methodist Episcopal Church and designed by Milwaukee architect Herman Paul Schnetzky, the building offers a distinctive presence, flexible interior layout, and long-term repositioning potential.
The property is anchored by an established daycare tenant that has operated from the building for years and will be entering a new 3-year lease beginning July 1. Lease terms include $4,000 per month in rent, plus tenant responsibility for 25% of the WE Energies bill, providing immediate income and added utility cost recovery for the next owner. With built-in cash flow, tenant stability, recognizable architecture, and a location surrounded by continued neighborhood reinvestment, this asset is well-positioned for investors seeking both current return and future upside. Buyer to verify lease terms, zoning, permitted uses, measurements, and all property details.
