Washington-based housing developer DevCo Residential Group wants to build a pair of lower-cost apartment buildings at the site of east side Madison’s former Metro Transit North Transfer Point, the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
The proposal includes 163 total apartments in two four-story buildings, constructed side-by-side at 1201 Huxley St. and 1910 Roth St. near the former Oscar Mayer plant. The shuttered bus transfer point — among those eliminated in 2023 after a system redesign aimed at streamlining service — would be removed.
DevCo’s plans feature one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for households earning 50-70% of the area median income, which for Dane County last year was roughly $90,900 for a one-person household and $129,800 for a four-person household.
The project would also include indoor and outdoor community spaces, and a large parking lot with access on Huxley Street would be located behind the buildings. Construction would start in late 2026, and the buildings would open in spring 2028, according to DevCo’s plans.
