Responding to civil unrest in the Sherman Park neighborhood in 2016, this former burned bank building has been transformed to demonstrate how we can invest in inclusive pathways to economic opportunity for Milwaukee neighborhoods to
In the summer of 2016 the unrest that rocked our city burned this former BMO bank building. Local community members and developers came together to create a place of healing and community for the damaged neighborhood. Sherman Phoenix was opened on November 30, 2018. We are now a thriving Marketplace of 25 Black and Minority-owned businesses offering food, wellness, beauty and professional services.
Rising from the ashes and harnessing the spirit and assets of the neighborhood as a catalyst for unity, this is the Sherman Phoenix.
The significant features are artworks throughout the building as well as a vault door.
