2010 MANDI Winner: Washington Park Apartments

The Washington Park Apartments, 3940 W. Lisbon Avenue. Milwaukee, WI, was the winner of the 2010 MANDI State Farm Insurance Building Blocks Award-Small Project. "Building Blocks" finalists are real estate developments that promote the social and cultural life of their community, demonstrate a high degree of sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood, have unique physical and social characteristics, and stimulate visual appeal. All have helped "build blocks" by promoting ancillary development, and can be considered model projects for other neighborhoods. Small Projects are defined as projects that produce 24 or less residential units and/or less than 30,000 square feet of commercial or facilities space. The Washington Park Apartments are a development of 24 three-bedroom apartments that provides a range of supportive services to the neighborhood families who live there. The MANDIs (Milwaukee Awards for Neighborhood Development Innovation) were introduced by LISC in 1999 as an effort to acknowledge and promote the accomplishments of the community development in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
