A former warehouse that will be converted into a business incubator for water technology firms has been sold, and work to convert the building will begin by early summer.
A local investors group, Water Accelerator LLC, this week completed its purchase of the seven-story industrial building, 223 W. Pittsburgh Ave., in Walker's Point.
The incubator, known as the Water Technology Research and Business Accelerator Building, is to be completed by late spring of 2013, said Dean Amhaus, executive director of the Milwaukee Water Council, a trade group that's leading the project.
