The student housing developer behind the Atmosphere Madison, now called The Axton, has delayed its second Madison housing project by a year, according to a Wisconsin State Journal report.
The city of Madison approved a demolition of a pair of low-rise apartment buildings with 120 total beds at 619 and 699 W. Mifflin St. for Trinitas Ventures of Lafayette, Indiana, to construct a 10-story student apartment building with about 665 beds.
The new development will be constructed between the Milwaukee Road Depot (at 640 W. Washington Ave. and now home to Motorless Motion Bicycles, Bandit Tacos and the Harvey House) and Wiedenbeck-Dobelin Warehouse, both designated as Madison landmarks.
No reason was given for the delay, but the structure is expected to be completed and open in 2028.
