Poplar Creek Town Center Brookfield, WI 53045

Nestled between Milwaukee and Waukesha on the eastern edge of Waukesha County, the Brookfield area has reaped the benefits of its central location, linking Wisconsin’s largest city and Milwaukee’s largest suburb. Only 15 minutes from downtown Milwaukee, Brookfield’s strong demographics, high-ranking school systems, and close proximity to interstates 94 and 41 have made this one of the most affluent and sought-after suburban areas in Wisconsin. Year after year, Waukesha County has consistently delivered the second most single-family homes in the state for over 25 years.

Running parallel to I-94 between Milwaukee and Waukesha, Bluemound Road and Capitol Drive are Brookfield’s most heavily trafficked thoroughfares. Nearly all commercial properties in the area can be found along these two arteries. Due in part to its proximity to the interstate, Bluemound Road has a much higher concentration of these properties, which include office parks, national retailers, hotels, and light industrial. Brookfield Square, one of Wisconsin’s largest shopping malls, has anchored the area for over 50 years and has helped make this one of most important commercial corridors in the region. A new 54,000-square-foot conference center and 168-room hotel on a former Sears parking lot highlight the continuing evolution of the mall.

New developments continue to reshape the area and further solidify Brookfield as one of the premier commercial destinations in suburban Milwaukee. The Corners of Brookfield, an award-winning, Von Maur anchored mixed-use town center, has reinvigorated an important junction while bringing dozens of new retailers to market. Another recent mixed-use development called The Corridor boasts Wisconsin’s only Life Time Fitness, two hotels, over 120,000 square feet of retail, and two new office buildings.
