Coworking
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business, or maybe you want to grow. MSAC is the home base for your endeavors.
Through sharing resources, we reduce costs and other barriers that hinder the work for a better, more creative, world.
Our goal is to serve as a site for collective reimagining around what’s possible.
We’re getting all our legos in place for opening

a foundation of innovation.
We are the third tenant inside a 122 year old building. First built to be The Kunzelmann-Esser Furniture Co., and later the home to Mitchell Street Menswear. Folks often tell us how they once bought furniture here, or their first prom suit.
Historic Mitchell Street was called Milwaukee’s main street of the Southside, featuring Goldmann’s Department Store, Shuster’s, and dozens of other family businesses. Our neighborhood was, and continues to be, built by immigrants. As a progressive beehive, we work to promote the Mitchell Street Community in designing our own tomorrow.
