PARK LAFAYETTE CELEBRATES CONSTRUCTION MILESTONE

“Signing Ceremony” puts luxury East Side condo towers one step closer to opening
MILWAUKEE – Renaissant Development Group, LLC, today announced that construction
on Park Lafayette, the 20-story, two-tower condominium development on Milwaukee’s East Side,
has reached its highest point. Project workers and community leaders celebrated the construction
milestone with a “Signing Ceremony,” signing their names to a commemorative plaque that will be
attached to the internal structure of the development.
“Today marks a significant milestone for Park Lafayette, and I commend the construction
team in helping to make this project a reality,” said Warren Barr, president of Chicago-based
Renaissant Development. “I know everyone involved feels the excitement as Park Lafayette’s two
towers reach further into the East Side skyline, and we’re looking forward to the near future when
our doors open to residents.”
Joining workers in today’s ceremony were Martha Brown, deputy commissioner of the
Milwaukee Department of City Development, and Milwaukee 3rd District Alderman Nik Kovac.
Construction of Park Lafayette began in October 2006, and the first residents are expected to
move in January 2009.
“We’re proud to say that every phase of construction has gone well – from the creation of the
development’s massive underground parking garage to vertical construction of Park Lafayette’s two
towers,” said Kevin O’Toole, principal and executive vice president of Brookfield-based Hunzinger
Construction, the general contractor for Park Lafayette. “The topping-off ceremony is a chance for
our construction team to celebrate the accomplishments of their hard work during the past 21 months,
and they have truly earned this celebration.”

East Side – offering a trendy, neighborhood feel while also giving residents a slice of Chicago living.
Park Lafayette is located at the corner of Prospect Avenue and Lafayette Place. When
complete, Park Lafayette will feature 280 custom-designed luxury residences – ranging from one-tothree-
bedroom condominiums to street-level townhouses. Designed to blend in with surrounding
homes and buildings, Park Lafayette will also feature a 450-space underground parking garage,
Milwaukee’s first fiber-optic network running to each unit, two professionally-designed fitness
centers and a unique storage area for bikes – with easy access to the Lakefront and the popular oak
Leaf Trail. Additionally, Park Lafayette will feature Milwaukee’s only 24-hour doormen at each
tower – a common feature in downtown Chicago living. Prices range from $240,000 to $895,000.
