Pabst complex lands office tenant
By Tom Daykin of the Journal Sentinel July 30, 2009

The Planning Council for Health and Human Services announced Thursday that it will move its offices to the Boiler Building, 1243 N. 10th St., at the former Pabst brewery.
The council, now at 1442 N. Farwell Ave., will lease 4,100 square feet at the building, which is owned by a group that includes investors Charlie Trainer and Max Dermond. The Boiler Builder was the first remodeled building to open at the former Pabst project, now known as The Brewery.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for us to have our facilities in this wonderful, historic and sustainable neighborhood," said Kathleen Pritchard, council executive director. "This setting is perfect for us to fulfill our mission of engaging the community in health and human services through planning, evaluation and research.”

The transaction was brokered by Jennifer Green, of CB Richard Ellis, and Lyle Landowski, of Inland Cos.
