Alterra Cafe proposed for Wauwatosa's east side
Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
An Alterra Cafe is being proposed for Wauwatosa, at the southeast corner of N. 68th and W. Wells streets.
Developers Sean Phelan and William Ibach are seeking permission to build the Alterra at 6745 W. Wells St. The Plan Commission is to review that proposal at its Monday meeting, according to the agenda.
The site is currently zoned for the Townhomes at Hyde Park, an eight-unit condo building Ibach proposed that hasn't gotten off the ground.
Milwaukee-based Alterra Coffee Roasters Inc. has 11 retail locations, including a cafe on Wauwatosa's west side, at 9125 W. North Ave., and a kiosk in Wauwatosa's Mayfair Mall. The company is building another cafe in Bay View as part of its new wholesale bakery.

Common Council rejects apartment high-rise behind Goll House
A proposed $55 million 27-story apartment tower for Milwaukee's east side has been rejected by the Common Council.
The council on Tuesday voted 10-5 to support the project, falling two votes short of the supermajority needed for approval. The zoning change needed 12 votes because a protest petition was signed by enough adjacent property owners, said Ald. Ashanti Hamilton, council president.
The opponents were Ald. Robert Bauman, whose district includes the site, along with aldermen Cavalier Johnson, Mark Borkowski, Jose Perez and Tony Zielinski.
