The Village of Big Bend, Wisconsin, has approved a new $175 million youth sports complex at Hwy.164 and I-43, just southwest of Milwaukee in Waukesha County.
Breck Athletic Complex will host national-level baseball, soccer and lacrosse tournaments, drawing thousands of athletes and their families to the area. The youth sports complex will be the first of its kind in the area and when complete, will be the largest complex in Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee office of Kraus-Anderson (KA) will build the Breck Athletic Complex. KA has deep experience in constructing arenas, stadiums and athletic facilities. Groundbreaking on the multi-phase project is expected to begin this spring.
Designed by ISG Architects, the project will feature:
- Baseball – 6 full turf lighted outdoor fields; championship field with built-in seating; 150,000-square-foot indoor baseball, lacrosse and soccer facility, batting cages and warm-up areas; bleachers; and restrooms
- Soccer – 5 full turf outdoor fields
- Lacrosse – 4 full turf outdoor fields
Amenities also will include golf simulators, a looped fitness trail, gas station, parking, commercial and retail spaces, sports outfitters and an on-site hotel.
Food and entertainment offerings will include multiple concessions, additional restaurants, coffee bar, and a craft beer bar, restaurant and banquet hall near the championship field.
Phase one of construction is tentatively scheduled to begin this summer with the soccer fields ready for gameplay by early fall of 2026. Baseball diamonds are expected to open in late fall of 2027 or spring of 2028. The phasing plans submitted to the village are based on projected construction timelines.
Extensive zoning and architectural planning on the 150-acre site include wetland delineation and geotechnical analysis. As part of the approval process, the developer has requested a portion of the site be rezoned to make the entire property one development. The property is currently zoned 75 percent commercial and 25 percent residential. In addition to the rezoning approval, the developer has requested a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Phase I of the project.
Corsair Logistics is currently funding the master planning, land purchase and additional expenses associated with zoning approval. Once approved, the developer we will be seeking financial investors and banking partners for the financing.
