A medical clinic is planned for a former drug store on Milwaukee's south side. It would be just one block from another new clinic.
A medical clinic is being proposed for a former drug store on Milwaukee's south side — just one block from another new clinic.
Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin would remodel the former CVS Pharmacy, 1316 W. Forest Home Ave., into a primary care clinic, according to plans filed with the city Historic Preservation Commission.
That building, while constructed in 1995, is within the Mitchell Street Historic District.
So, any exterior renovations would need commission approval — which could come at its Monday meeting.
The clinic, to open by June, would include 16 exam rooms, a lab and other features.
Also, it would house a physician residency training program, and include a conference and training center for 20 to 25 people.
The Froedtert & MCW clinic would be around one block northeast of a Children's Wisconsin primary care clinic that opened in June at 1432 W. Forest Home Ave.
The former Forest Home Branch Library was demolished to make way for the clinic.
That happened after the Common Council in December 2020 rejected a commission ruling to designate the former library as historic.
The proposed Froedtert & MCW clinic property is owned by Brookfield-based El Rey Properties LLC.
The clinic would use most of the one-story, 16,500-square-foot building.
Around 2,400 square feet is set aside for a future bank tenant, according to the plans. That will be operated by North Shore Bank, according to city building permits.
El Rey Properties bought the building and two neighboring buildings, housing Reflections Jewelry and a Domino's Pizza, in 2021 for $2.15 million, according to state real estate records.
