About Journal Commons

Journal Commons offers a unique blend of historic architecture and modern apartment living in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. Originally built in 1924 as the home of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the building has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its character while introducing the finishes and conveniences today's residents expect.Designed by renowned architect Frank D. Chase, the space reflects a legacy of craftsmanship and purpose; now reimagined into studio to one-bedroom plus den apartments with elevated amenities and walkable access to the city's best dining, entertainment, and lakefront destinations.Live where Milwaukee's stories were written — and start your own.
