Mixed-Use Redevelopment Bringing Affordable Housing and Public Safety to Green Bay
Fire Station Flats is a mixed-use redevelopment planned for 420 S. Broadway in Green Bay's Shipyard District. Developed through a public-private partnership between General Capital and the City of Green Bay, the project will transform a former industrial site into a community combining 85 affordable apartments, a new Green Bay Metro Fire Station #1, administrative offices, and community-serving spaces. The four-story, 100,302-square-foot residential building will feature 61 one-bedroom and 24 two-bedroom apartments serving households earning between 30% and 80% of area median income. The larger 155,059-square-foot development will integrate residential housing with essential municipal services and neighborhood amenities.
The redevelopment will also include a Community Education Center offering public safety training, emergency preparedness programs, and neighborhood events, alongside commercial space and pedestrian improvements. Designed with sustainability in mind, the project incorporates brownfield remediation, energy-efficient construction, stormwater management, and green infrastructure, with LEED certification planned. Additional features include 93 residential parking spaces and shared community amenities. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2026, with completion and initial residential occupancy anticipated in December 2027. Fire Station Flats will establish a new mixed-use destination that expands affordable housing opportunities while strengthening public safety infrastructure and community resources in Green Bay's Shipyard District.
