The Hamm's Brewery Project is an ambitious community-driven plan to transform an underutilized former industrial site on the East Side into a vibrant and walkable community asset for the entire neighborhood to enjoy.
The Hamm's Brewery project will restore the vitality of this historic neighborhood landmark by bringing new neighborhood amenities such as a commercial marketplace, affordable housing for families, restored historic buildings for artist-style loft housing, and community gathering spaces indoors and out.
We invite your feedback to ensure the project meets the community’s needs. Please share your ideas for the project plans here.

Public Benefits
Affordable Housing
This development will add 196 units of affordable housing for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes. This includes 110 units of family-friendly new construction and 86 units of artist loft style units in the historic brewery buildings. The housing will be affordable for individuals and families at different income levels and with different housing types to serve a range of needs.
Historic Preservation
Renovation of the remaining brewery buildings recognizes the significant contribution the Hamm's Brewery made to the development of the East Side. Reusing these spaces can help revitalize our community's future.
Commercial Marketplace
The marketplace will include neighborhood-serving shops and restaurants that capitalizes on the historic brewhouse and makes the most of its soaring ceilings and grand spaces. It will serve nearby residents with convenient access to everyday needs and showcase neighborhood entrepreneurs who want to launch or expand their business and serve their community.
Community Gathering Spaces
Plans for redevelopment include community gathering spaces for small and large groups, inside and out. Uses may include community meetings, musical performances, art exhibits and other activities.
Connectivity
This project prioritizes accessibility to and through the site by opening the connection between the brewery and the Bruce Vento Regional Trail and creating an accessible path connecting the lower elevation of the trail and the upper elevation of the brewery complex. The plans include a path that will take pedestrians to the interior courtyard, creating access from the Bruce Vento Trail and Swede Hollow Park to activate parts of the site that are currently blocked off and inaccessible.
Open Green Space
The proposed project includes restored green space with a public plaza for community events, performances, community gatherings and recreation. The adjacent Bruce Vento Regional Trail and Swede Hollow Park will connect to the brewery complex and encourage bike and pedestrian traffic to roam freely among these valuable community assets.
