The Mayer - 342 North Water Street - Quality Office Space in the heart of Milwaukee Wisconsins Third Ward neighborhood

The Mayer's commanding location yields brilliant views from all sides, with panoramic vistas of the lakefront, downtown and the vibrant streets of a neighborhood that has become one of Milwaukee's liveliest hubs of creative, technology and professional service companies.

Built in the 1920s to house the Mayer Boot & Shoe Co., the 100,000-square-foot concrete structure has been home to a number of venerable Milwaukee cultural institutions, including the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and the Ko-Thi Dance Company.

Recent modernizations and refurbishments have ushered the Mayer proudly into the 21st century. These have included replacement of the building's more than 200 windows and renovation of the first floor lobby, as well as new common areas on all floors, including hallways and bathrooms — all the while maintaining the utmost respect and sensitivity for the clean, classic "bones" of The Mayer.

Tall ceilings. Spectacular views. Plenty of natural light. And all the room you need to stretch your mind and exercise your imagination.

Green practices are another essential ingredient in our commitment to providing a high-quality work environment for you and your employees. Low-flow toilets, waterless urinals and energy-efficient fluorescent lighting are used throughout our properties.

Indoor air quality is a real priority with us. We don't believe in sealing off the outside world — all our buildings have operable windows that allow fresh breezes to blow. And the green cleaning methods we employ help reduce the presence of volatile compounds to which some individuals may have sensitivities — which helps you by cutting down on worker absences.

On-site shower and locker room facilities will be a boon to employees who bicycle to work or exercise outdoors over the noon hour. There is on-premises bicycle storage as well.

Underground and surface parking for tenants is available. The Pieper Properties office is located close by, with 24-hour on-call response. We solicit frequent feedback, sending out surveys at regular intervals and keeping up personal contact with our tenants.

It's our commitment to make The Mayer Building a congenial home to bright, innovative companies for decades to come. And, with our surroundings to inspire you, maybe your company will be the latest Milwaukee institution to have the word "venerable" attached to its name.

WITH ITS DISTINCTIVE FACADE OF GLAZED TERRA COTTA, THE HISTORIC EIGHT-STORY MAYER BUILDING STANDS TALL ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF N. WATER AND E. ST. PAUL STREETS, THE MAIN "GATEWAY" INTO MILWAUKEE'S HISTORIC THIRD WARD NEIGHBORHOOD.
