Council approves Oliv project

The Madison Common Council approved a plan by Chicago developer Core Spaces to build a large luxury student housing project along the 300 block of State Street, according to a Wisconsin State Journal report. The project will include more than 100 low-cost beds for UW–Madison students. The 10-story Oliv project will have 385 units, 23,229 square feet of commercial space, green roofs, terraces, a pool, and a fitness room, and it will occupy most of the block bounded by State, West Gorham, North Broom, and West Johnson streets. Construction should begin in the spring of 2022 with an anticipated completion date in fall 2024.
