Parking Structures

Built in 1906, the J. L. Brandeis & Sons building in Omaha, Nebraska consisted of a department store residing on the 1st four floors and the company headquarters on the top two floors. By 1921, there were two additional floors added to house the entire Brandeis family. With the addition of an eight floor parking garage in the 1960’s, the Brandeis department store truly earned the title as the store that has “everything”. Today, the J. L. Brandeis & Sons department store has been renovated into condos and commercial office space for businesses bought by TAB Properties.

When is a roof not a roof? When it is also a soccer, rugby and lacrosse field. Such is the case at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) soccer and parking facility in downtown Milwaukee. In addition to featuring spots for 780 vehicles and several retail spaces, the new parking structure is also home to the Pamela and Hermann Viets Field, an artificial turf athletic field that is now part of MSOE’s athletic complex.
