Construction marks turning point for former Manitowoc mall site | Exclusive
MANITOWOC – After years of sitting vacant, the former Mid-Cities Mall site is coming back to life. Construction is underway on multifamily housing at the former Mid-Cities Mall and Edgewater Plaza site . It is the first step in a development that will include a mix of multifamily and single-family housing, retail space and restaurants, according to city officials. Restaurants we miss: Readers name the Manitowoc-area restaurants they miss most | Exclusive The Manitowoc Plan Commission approved the final plat for the Mariner Lux Subdivision in July, clearing the final hurdle before construction could begin. Adam Tegan, Manitowoc’s community development director, said this summer that he expected work to begin in late summer or fall.

Luminous water tower, new housing, more Lawrence Town Center updates
It's been 13 months since Boardwalk Development Co. CEO Jim Ostrom stood in a wet, muddy field to throw the ceremonial first shovel of dirt to start construction of a sprawling new mixed-use neighborhood in the Town of Lawrence. As he looked out on the same site on the warm, sunny morning on Oct. 7 Ostrom was impressed by the farm field's multifaceted transformation into Lawrence Town Center in such a short time. The first of more than a dozen homes are under construction and the first apartment building's second elevator shaft is quickly rising. Town Center Drive now connects Mid Valley Drive to Williams Grant Drive, the neighborhood's western and eastern boundaries. Several more roads have been paved in asphalt. Recreation trails have been paved, and work has started on resident amenities like pickleball and basketball courts. In Love Park, the development's centerpiece, bridges will soon span the 6-acre lake to connect a central island to the shore. Everywhere young trees and vegetation have been planted. "It’s kind of crazy but on a beautiful day it’s rewarding to be here," Ostrom told the Press-Gazette. "It's an exceptional day. We're making fabulous progress."
