Ribbon-cutting held for new luxury apartments in former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel building

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A historic building downtown that was home to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for nearly 100 years is now a modern day apartment complex. 

The $35-million project blends elements from the Journal Sentinel with luxury amenities for residents.

The original building was created in 1924 by a Chicago architect. 

Now, former top-floor executive offices have been turned into an open-air rooftop.

Mayor Cavalier Johnson, joined by the complex's developer, spoke ahead of the ribbon-cutting Tuesday, Nov. 15.

"The stories generated here will no longer be in print -- they'll instead, be stories about people," Mayor Johnson said.

These Deer District apartments are available to lease right now.
