A spot for dogs to pee and a pontoon boat 'conference room' help CityCenter compete for office tenants
Summary
A tenant at CityCenter@735 was going through a rough time, and asked property manager Sheldon Oppermann if she could bring her dog to the downtown office building for comfort. The dog pee spot joins other features, including a pontoon boat "conference room," which the 16-story historic building, 735 N. Water St., uses to compete with newer office towers. "We let people bring their dogs," said Oppermann, executive vice president and general counsel at building operator Compass Properties LLC. The firm moved from 10375 N. Baldev Court, Mequon, to streamline its operations, obtain space for future growth and better retain and attract younger employees. "The vibrancy of downtown Milwaukee reflects our culture and values, and we’re thrilled to join this dynamic community," Joe Jackson, WageWorks chief executive officer, said in a December statement.
