Article: Buyer sees new life for tannery; Plans for Water St. site include housing, restaurants, shops

The former Gallun tannery, overlooking the Milwaukee River north of downtown, is being sold to a Denver firm that specializes in redeveloping former industrial properties into housing and other new uses.

Tanesay Development LLC has agreed to buy the property, which covers nearly 6 acres along the west side of N. Water St., north of E. Pearson St. The firm has until May 2008 to complete its purchase, said Mark Geall, a Tanesay principal.

Tanesay is working with Engberg Anderson Design Partnership Inc. to create a plan for the site, Geall said Monday. He said it will likely be a mix of housing, restaurants, shops and office space.
