MILWAUKEE — Plans for a record-breaking skyscraper in downtown Milwaukee are on hold due to tariffs and inflation, the project’s developers said Thursday. The 31-story complex at Edison and State streets would bring more than 350 units and retail space, according to development firm Neutral. Called “The Edison,” it is on track to be the tallest mass timber building in North America. But in a statement on Thursday, the developers said “recent tariffs and broader inflation have materially increased key input hard costs,” forcing them to temporarily pause the project. “Our focus remains on delivering a resilient, exceptional building for Milwaukee,” said Neutral CEO Nate Helbach. Officials said the foundation of the project is complete after a groundbreaking in the spring. A timeline to resume construction has not yet been determined. [END]
