Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF), the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the Royal Capital Group (RCG) have established the historic, community-based ThriveOn Collaboration founded on a joint vision for a Milwaukee that is equitable, healthy and thriving for all.
This commitment is physically embodied in the restoration and redevelopment of an iconic building in the Historic King Drive district at the nexus of three vital north side neighborhoods - Halyard Park, Harambee and Brewers Hill. The former Gimbels-Schuster's Department Store, 2153 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, most recently owned by CH Coakley, will be redeveloped by RCG and will become the Foundation's new home and will house MCW's community engagement programs. The partners will build on the vibrant history and current assets of the neighborhood, seize on the momentum growing throughout the city and join community members to realize a shared vision for positive change.
