In 2021 when the Milwaukee Bucks celebrated winning their first championship in 50 years, they did so in a venue that Kapur helped bring to life.
The Deer District was developed on eight city blocks with 30 acres of land formerly home to the Park East Freeway. It is Milwaukee’s premiere neighborhood location for sports and entertainment, where Milwaukee can live, work, and play. The Deer District has redefined downtown Milwaukee.
Starting in 2015, Kapur has provided all survey services across the project, including control, topo, mapping, land division activities (including land purchases, platting, easements, and vacates), LiDAR scanning, UAV photogrammetry and aerial base mapping.
Site design services include work across all eight blocks, including the Fiserv Forum, MKE Bucks Training Facility, a parking structure, the Trade Hotel, and multi-family housing and restaurants. Extensive green infrastructure was implemented to go above and beyond what state and local regulations required.
Kapur was actively involved with designing relocated utilities, including moving the 84-inch combined sewer overflow (CSO) for MMSD, roadway design for WisDOT, roadway design for the City of Milwaukee, and planning for vacating 4th Street, and the ultimate connection of the Milwaukee Streetcar.
With a new concert venue set to begin construction in 2025, Kapur continues to provide civil and site design for the entertainment district.
