The city of Madison’s Economic Development Division on Friday announced the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the redevelopment of Block 113 in downtown Madison, formerly known as the Brayton Lot.
Located at 1 South Butler St., just blocks from the Wisconsin State Capitol and steps away from access to the Bus Rapid Transit route, the two-acre site allows for development up to 10 stories, with two additional stories possible if a developer chooses to include a sufficient amount of affordable housing. State law does not allow buildings in this area to exceed the Capitol View Height Limit.
The potential redevelopment of the lot has been discussed in city plans for several decades, and Madison is now ready to move forward by evaluating proposals.
Proposals will be judged according to how they score across eight sections outlined in the Project Scope and Specifications portion of the RFP. The points system is based on the city’s priorities for the project, with sustainability and affordable housing topping the list.
The full RFP and requirements are available on the city of Madison’s project webpage. Proposals are due by 2 p.m. on July 9.
