MILWAUKEE — Ahead of a planned move in November, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has begun clearing out its longtime home in a historic downtown building, the Milwaukee Business Journal reports.

While its staff has been working remotely since March due to the pandemic, the Journal Sentinel is vacating the offices at 333 W. State St., as a local developer prepares to convert the building into apartments. A drone video shot by photographer Mike De Sisti offers a last glimpse of the empty building prior to the move.

The move to its new 330 E Kilbourn Ave. location is slated for November, though editor George Stanley told the Business Journal he was unsure of the exact move-in date.

The Journal Sentinel buildings, which received historic designations in 2019, were sold last fall to a group led by Milwaukee developer Joshua Jeffers. The Journal Sentinel had called the main building home since 1924, when it was built to house The Milwaukee Journal. The attached building became home to the Milwaukee Sentinel when it was purchased in 1962.
