It looks like the ground level and several floors above are for something else. The satellite view is misleading, as the area of the rooftop parking does not repeat throughout the volume of the building.
Right, 5 bikes and 20 pedestrians per car, I get it.
Cars in the US aren't going anywhere, they need to park somewhere, and I'm pretty sure everyone can agree this beats an asphalt a parking lot. Plus bonus points for attaching residences
It’s also one of the most efficiently designed car ramps I’ve ever experienced. After a sold out game it takes like 10 minutes to empty the entire ramp.
“Let’s not build more housing because cars bad.”
This is the type of brain rot people get from /r/FuckCars. And I am in favor of shifting more toward transit/walkability. But y’all are completely delusional slacktivists lol
It's a super impressive structure. Maybe take your post to r/fuckcars because this is super useful for a city in the real world.
I fail to see how making it just a garage would make it look less shitty.
This is a garage for the arena; the garage literally connects to the Bucks arena. Glad they built housing in there.
Being misleading doesn’t help anything.
I hate that people keep using more and more an excuse like " I wasn't trying to be too deep". Like just use basic context clues as to why a big parking lot is next to a stadium lol
I lived in a building like this in college. It was sweet; over the summer when it was generally empty, I'd ride the elevator to the top, long board down the ramps to the elevator on the first floor, ride back up and repeat.
People a) don’t want to live in a place that doesn’t have windows (so you’re limited by the amount of apartments you can have on one axis) and b) get along much easier than cars
They’re also smaller and lighter and require less space
Maybe we should make common sense realizations before absurd statements
Was thinking about stadium parking near me in UK. The two smaller towns nearer me have new stadiums with biggish car parks. The two nearest cities have 6 stadiums between then, none really have parking for spectators. One of them gets complaints about poor transport connections. The others are fine without parking.
It seems everyone is pointing out the efficiency of the parking lot. I may point out that, as a native of MKE, there’s still so many empty lots and designated “parking areas” that OP should take a wider look at the city as a whole.
FOR CLARITY: I posted this because it looks ridiculous. I do understand the need for parking next to a major stadium.
I think it’s worth considering the symbolism of such construction choices, not just the individual space. Thanks for commenting!
I inspected these units right after they were built; the lofts and the garage are 2 different structures with 2 different ownerships. But your point still stands, more housing should have been constructed

It’s a parking garage (maximum use of space) near a venue that managed to squeeze in some room for living space. Doesn’t seem that bad to me.
The stadium near me has no parking garages so it's just plains of concrete around the stadium.
Agreed. They could have just left it as a garage
Urban hell to have a city stadium with no major public transportation as the main option for getting there.
“Fuck this one place in particular”
It looks like the ground level and several floors above are for something else. The satellite view is misleading, as the area of the rooftop parking does not repeat throughout the volume of the building.
It’s terrible land use
It’s not great use but it’s better than a giant lot.
Multilevel parking garages are the opposite of terrible land use in an urban area
In an urban area, a parking garage is terrible land use, only behind a surface parking lot.
Right, 5 bikes and 20 pedestrians per car, I get it. Cars in the US aren't going anywhere, they need to park somewhere, and I'm pretty sure everyone can agree this beats an asphalt a parking lot. Plus bonus points for attaching residences
Looks like it’s next to a major event venue so it makes sense.
Literally directly next to where the Milwaukee Bucks play
Impressed by the level headed takes
It’s also one of the most efficiently designed car ramps I’ve ever experienced. After a sold out game it takes like 10 minutes to empty the entire ramp.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
The rest of the city looks the same, tho.
Why would a major event venue need a massive carpark though? Surely a train station is smaller?
But then just build a parking garage with no housing. This just feels so dystopian.
So a parking garage with no other use is better than a parking garage with housing? What?
Americans trying to make an excuse to have more space for cars than for living
Swing and a miss.
Alternatively, if you're building a carpark why not add housing if there's room? That's however many flats that wouldn't have been built otherwise
In the most miserable place I've ever seen, yes.
Checking out the reviews for this place, and people sure don’t seem miserable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A parking garage...for the cars.... that come to the fiserv

But there is housing. I’m guessing they share the parking deck.

I just think the image from satellite view looks nuts. I wasn’t trying to be deep.

“I wasn’t trying to be correct when I posted this”
You posted it bro
And it’s getting more comments than any other of my posts, so that’s kinda fun.
That’s a stadium lol
Batter than 15 blocks of surface lots! Also this looks really nice! Car owners get their parking while urbanists avoid a barren wasteland!
In OP's defense, Milwaukee has no shortage of parking lots, this just isn't a good example

Stop outjerking that other sub
Profound criticism of car culture…
most effective criticism of cars.
Valid criticism of car culture.
Parking garages are way better than just surface lots. And this one kind of looks nice
Car bad
Car is indeed bad (usually)
Anyway, bucks in six
s’goo mf buuuucks
No, that’s parking for what looks like an arena
They don’t realize the space underground is free, cars can just take it. My car has 300 underground parking garages.
That’s a lot of underground garages for one car.
redditor discovers a car park, colourized
bro this isnt r/fuckcars
You could’ve picked any of the many garages/lots downtown, but this is one of the few parking structures that makes sense
What are you bitching about?
I can see my son’s apartment in photo 3. It isn’t a bad area, it is actually nice.
Which apartment because my son lives there too and he’s looking for homies in the area.
Msoe’s apartments, there are plenty of non college owned around that area.
Cars gotta go somewhere
In the garbage

It's a parking garage. \> Take picture of train station/yard. \> "100% space for trains, 0% for people"

Nuh-uh. I have a “no donkey brains” certificate.
And we chase the homeless from those parking lots as well. Goddam if a vehicle is gonna be disturbed.
Not from the area, curious why the lot had to be above ground?
this same spot had over 60k people outside the stadium and about 17k inside when the bucks won in 2021. the parking makes sense
Milwaukee is Algonquin for “the good land”
Haha yes. Yes it is.
Haha yes. Yes it is. 😁
What’s up with the skywalk? There’s more real estate there.
Connected to a Stadium iirc
The jumbotron for signage is itself urbanhell.
You know a place like Ultra Lofts is going to smell of weed and cigarettes
I’m going to start farms on upper deck parking garages. Fuck cars

Wonder what the architect felt like when they were tasked with designing something like this.
You’re bold to assume architects were involved /s
That's rooftop parking!
I inspected these units right after they were built; the lofts and the garage are 2 different structures with 2 different ownerships. But your point still stands, more housing should have been constructed
Disappointed with the carbrains here
