10-story housing project nears UW campus moves forward

National developer CRG has begun work on Chapter at Madison, a 165-unit development on nearly an acre in the Greenbush neighborhood, according to a release from the company. The company has secured land acquisition and construction financing for the 0.8-acre site on the 800 block of Regent Street. The site is currently the home to the former Buckingham’s Bar & Grill at 802 Regent St., Faith Community Bible Church at 826 Regent St., the former Fraboni’s Italian Specialties and Delicatessen at 822 Regent St., and two rental houses at 816 and 818 Regent St. All of the buildings are slated for demolition for the 10-story mixed-use complex that will house furnished units with a total of 534 rentable bedrooms and approximately 2,200 square feet of neighborhood-oriented commercial space. Construction is slated to begin in December, with completion expected to coincide with the start of the 2024–25 academic year.
