Milwaukee-based developer Wire Capital Group, breaks ground on Maritime Lofts site in Manitowoc
On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Wire Capital Group broke ground on the future site of the Maritime Lofts on the long-vacant former Mirro Aluminum site. The former aluminum cookware plant was torn down in 2017 and the site at 1512 Washington Street has sat empty ever since. That was until January 2022, when Wire Capital Group, a Milwaukee-based, Black founded and owned developer placed and won a bid with the city of Manitowoc to develop the Former Mirro Cookware site into affordable housing on the south side of the vacant property. The city sold the site to Wire Capital Group for $1, because the site was declared a contamination site by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Meet Anne Zizzo: The 2026 Tenacious B Betty Award Winner
She was knee-deep in leading the marketing department at the Journal Sentinel when her father, public school teacher Alan Arentsen, fell terminally ill. “I could not do that job and take care of my dad,” says Zizzo, who had also just welcomed her first son. She decided to continue the job on a contract basis, juggling the demands of new motherhood and caring for her father while also quietly building a consulting business of her own. “One year later, I had seven people working in the basement of my home, and I had done $7 million in sales,” Zizzo recalls. And just like that, her eponymous marketing agency Zizzo Group Engagement Marketing (ZG) was born.

A new online tool is putting hard numbers behind something Milwaukee residents have felt for years: some neighborhoods are hollowing out while others are pricing longtime families out. The Displacement Risk Dashboard, built to compare local conditions in 2014 against 2024, shows one Washington Park-area census tract lost 35% of its homeowners over the decade, with only three new mortgages originated there during that entire period.
