About East Towne Plaza:

East Towne Plaza is a neighborhood shopping center located on the "Gold Coast" of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. East Towne Plaza has a rich and storied history. During the 1960s and early 1970s, Brady Street was the center of Milwaukee's counterculture. By the late 1970s, Brady Street declined and became the home to many transients and drug houses. By 1982, Brady Street had a number of vacant or burnt out buildings. In 1982, Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello saw much promise for the Lower East Side and became its pioneers. In 1983, Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello quietly began to acquire buildings at the eastern most end of Brady Street. Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello acquired a vacant rooming house, auto garage, dry cleaning plant, residential properties, and vacant land. When combined, by 1984, Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello acquired a city block made up of six parcels. Despite the then history of Brady Street, Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello believed in Brady Street and convinced local and national retailers of its potential. The first and most visible tenant was the Walgreen's Company. In what proved to be the first of many developments for the Walgreen's company, Frank Crivello forged a strong relationship. After the commitment of Walgreen's company, other local and national tenants followed. In 1984 Frank Crivello commenced efforts to re-zone the properties to local business. In one of the many special stories involving East Towne Plaza, neighbors to the north conditioned their support upon the preservation of the northerly most wall of the former dry cleaning plant so that they could sunbath without interruption. Frank Crivello negotiated the anchor lease with Walgreen's around preservation of the wall. It still stands today. Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello open East Towne Plaza in the summer of 1985. It was an instant success. It has remained fully occupied for its entire twenty-year existence. The Crivello family continues to own East Towne Plaza. Brady Street has flourished since the opening of East Towne Plaza. It is the home to many new commercial enterprises. It and is residents have enjoyed a renaissance. Frank Crivello and Joseph Crivello are proud of what Brady Street has become and their contribution to its renaissance.
