Brix Apartment Lofts Project
Located in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood, the Brix Apartment Lofts project transformed the historic 1907 Ziegler Candy Company building into 98 modern loft-style apartments. The renovation preserved the building’s industrial charm, featuring exposed ductwork, high ceilings, and large windows, while integrating Energy Star appliances and a new three-story parking structure accessible via the basement and a second-story bridge.
Challenge
The renovation required running new electrical systems through an existing structure with slanted floors and 18-inch-thick concrete—a construction style uncommon in modern buildings. Maintaining the building’s historic character while updating its infrastructure posed significant challenges.
Solution
Roman Electric collaborated closely with the project team to embed conduits within the leveled floors and install new wiring without disrupting the building’s historical integrity. Utilizing constant x-raying and meticulous planning, the team ensured that the electrical upgrades were seamlessly integrated into the structure.
