A new affordable housing project built in vacant space above a Sturgeon Bay arcade and bowling alley opens with a ribbon cutting and tours of its eight apartments May 29.
An affordable housing development begun a year and a half ago above a
bowling alley and arcade in a historic downtown Sturgeon Bay building is
opening its doors to the public for the first time May 29.
The Lofts at Cherry Lanes
holds its official ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. May 29, with
those in attendance getting the chance to tour the units afterward.
Guests can meet the owners and members of the project development team, a
community toast will be held after the ceremony, and Cherry Lanes Arcade Bar – the first-floor occupant – will provide pizza and refreshments.

Leo’s notes: While eight units alone won't solve Door County's housing shortage, converting underutilized downtown spaces into housing creates new opportunities without requiring additional land or major infrastructure investments. As communities across Wisconsin search for attainable housing solutions, adaptive reuse projects like this offer a practical model for adding housing while strengthening downtown business districts and preserving community character.
