Versiti is proud to celebrate ThriveOn King's remarkable success in transforming Milwaukee's historic Gimbels-Schuster building into a vibrant community hub dedicated to advancing social equity and health. This project exemplifies visionary collaboration and an unwavering commitment to creating a healthy, thriving Milwaukee for all residents.
We are especially proud to recognize that ThriveOn King recently received the prestigious Milwaukee Business Journal Real Estate Award in the Social Impact category. This accolade highlights the project’s outstanding contribution to creating positive change and fostering community well-being through innovative development.
The grand opening of ThriveOn King in June 2024 marked a significant milestone in urban redevelopment and community development. Spanning nearly 400,000 square feet, this innovative space is more than just a building; it is a testament to what can be achieved when wide-ranging stakeholders unite with a shared purpose. Led by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, in partnership with the Medical College of Wisconsin and Milwaukee's Royal Capital, the ThriveOn Collaboration demonstrates a groundbreaking approach to addressing social determinants of health through integrated community resources.
The impact of this project extends far beyond its physical presence. It provides essential services such as affordable housing, early childhood education, workforce development, health initiatives, and social connection opportunities. Including community spaces, public art, wellness offerings, and local food options further enriches the neighborhood and fosters a sense of belonging and vitality.
We at Versiti are honored to be part of this transformative effort. As an anchor tenant in the ThriveOn King development, our new Versiti on King Center reflects our unwavering commitment to improving community health through innovative blood donation and healthcare solutions. The center offers accessible blood donation opportunities for the community, health education, and community engagement programs to foster public health and wellness in Milwaukee.
This achievement highlights the power of collaboration, community listening, and a shared mission to uplift Milwaukee. We congratulate ThriveOn on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will continue to have in the years ahead.
