Re: Mixed use project at 852 N. Main Street, Oshkosh, W
Project Narrative
Project overview
This building is located at 852 N Main Street in downtown Oshkosh. The building consists of 2 buildings
side by side. One side (North Building) is a 2 story structure. The other side (South Building) is a 3 story
structure.
Front Façade
The front façade changes will be removing the first-floor windows and replacing them with new storefront
and an overhead door as shown on the exterior elevations. The green panels will be removed exposing
the existing brick and new transom storefront windows as shown on the exterior elevations. Second-floor
windows are to be replaced. The third-floor window and glass block will be replaced with new storefront
as shown on plans. The building exterior paint color will be similar to the dark Green that is on the front
first floor currently. Windows will be white and storefront will be Black.
North Building 2 story
This portion of the building will be the Parlay Lounge, an upscale dive bar. The first floor will be the bar
area. The front of the building will have an overhead door that will open onto Main Street. The second
floor will also have a bar area with a more open area for events. This area will also be open to the South
Building for restroom access.
South Building 3 story
First Floor:
The front portion of this building will be developed as a rental. The intention is to have a late night pizza or
taco business that would rent the space. Currently there are no late night food places on Main St. Varsity
does have a limited food menu, but this isn’t enough to provide a need for a late night food establishment.
There will be access inside from the Parlay Lounge to the food tenant. The back portion will contain a 2
bedroom apartment.
Second Floor:
The front portion will have event space for rent or as a space for bridal parties. Public restrooms will be
available for both the North and South Buildings. The event space will face main Street. The back portion
will contain a 2 bedroom apartment.
Third Floor:
This floor will be unoccupied and used a landlord storage.
Parking Lot
There is a small parking lot behind the building (East). This lot will be paved and provide an accessible
parking stall and access to the building. Landscaping will be provided as well. A masonry dumpster
enclosure will be provided.
