1000 North Water Street, Postmodern skyscraper in Downtown Milwaukee, United States
1000 North Water Street is a 16-story office high-rise in downtown Milwaukee featuring a light pink granite facade and tinted windows. The structure includes an eight-level parking garage with more than 1,500 spaces, managed by the City of Milwaukee.
The building was completed in 1991 and marked the end of a major construction boom in Milwaukee that began in the late 1980s. It arose during a period of intensive urban development that produced several major high-rises.
The building displays postmodern design through its geometric forms and decorative details common to office structures of that era. These design choices shape the neighborhood's appearance and reflect the architectural trends of the early 1990s.
The parking garage is accessible to both tenants and visitors seeking convenient spaces in the downtown area. The location on Water Street offers good connections to Milwaukee's city center.
A section of the parking garage houses a specialized unit of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for storage and investigative purposes. This function is not immediately apparent and adds to the building's range of uses.
