Over the last twenty years, Eau Claire, Wisconsin has undergone a renaissance as the city has prioritized revitalizing public spaces, expanding neighborhoods, and invigorating the local economy through redevelopment. From adaptive reuse projects that have breathed new life into historic buildings to community-led initiatives that have transformed vacant lots into thriving spaces, these stories exemplify Eau Claire’s commitment to progress and renewal.
In Progress
The Cannery District is a mixed-use development located along the Chippewa River. It’s home to the Eau Claire Children’s Theatre and The Brewing Projekt, as well as residential housing, retail spaces, a public park, and walking trails. The project reinvigorated a former industrial area and created a vibrant community space.
In Progress
The Liner Site is a mixed-use development located along North Barstow Street. It revitalized a former industrial site into a modern mixed-use development that now houses the newly relocated Children’s Museum on the north side and a vacant lot intended for residential and commercial units on the south lot.
Completed 2024
Block 7 is a mixed-use development located north of the Liner Site along North Barstow Street. The project transformed a former empty parking lot into two lots with a six-story 109-unit apartment building on the north side and Menomonie Market Food Co-op, a community-owned grocery store, on the south side.
Completed 2019
Haymarket Plaza is an open-air space located within Haymarket Landing along the confluence of the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers in downtown. The mixed-use development includes residential apartments, commercial spaces, a parking structure, and a plaza with water features and access to the Haymarket Bridge.
Completed 2018
The Confluence Project is a redevelopment site located adjacent to Haymarket Plaza in downtown. It’s the proud home of Pablo Center at the Confluence, a modern arts center that offers performance spaces, galleries, and education programs in partnership with UWEC, as well as housing, retail spaces, and offices.
Completed in 2005
Phoenix Park is a recreational space located south of Madison Street along the Chippewa River. Once a brownfield site and a railroad yard, it has since been transformed into a vibrant gathering place that features walking paths, greenery, and a riverfront amphitheater that serves as a hub for community events, concerts, and festivals.
