According to The Capital Times, a community meeting regarding the next phase of the Westgate Mall redevelopment is scheduled for Tuesday at 6 p.m. It will be held in the community room at 601 Sand Pearl Lane on the west side and be hosted by Madison City Council District 11 Ald. Bill Tishler, as well as representatives from Madison-based developer JT Klein.
JT Klein will share plans for a 68-unit development called University Park Commons II. It will be an income-restricted housing project with units reserved for people making between 30–80% of the area median income (a range of $25,560–68,400 annually for a single-person household).
The site redevelopment began in 2022 with a first phase that included the University Park Commons I building, which provides income-restricted housing in the same vein as the new proposal. It also included the Oak Ridge Apartments, a senior affordable housing development opened earlier this year.
JT Klein’s Westgate Mall redevelopment includes a total of five buildings, three of which are built and currently leasing: 601@Univeristy Park, a 156-unit luxury apartment building; University Park Commons I with 68 units; and Oak Ridge apartments with 82 units.
Along with University Commons II, Oak Ridge II has yet to be constructed; it will offer market-rate senior housing and comprise 80 units.
