McShane Construction Company’s Wisconsin regional team was selected by Volker Development to build Kelly Station, a 76-unit affordable housing residence in Madison, Wisconsin.
Volker is a development and property management company focused on providing affordable and workforce housing options nationwide. Based in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, this project will be Volker’s first new construction project in Dane County, and their 27th in the state of Wisconsin.
Positioned on a .90-acre site at 2462 E. Washington Avenue, the development will feature a five-story podium-style building with four stories of wood framing atop an above-grade precast parking garage. The building’s exterior will integrate masonry on the first floor with a mix of Hardie plank and lap siding on floors two through five.
Each residential unit will be thoughtfully appointed with contemporary finishes. Kitchens will showcase natural wood cabinets complemented by stainless-steel appliances. Bathrooms will feature one-piece showers or tub/shower combinations, along with vanities topped with cultured marble. Luxury vinyl tile flooring will provide a sophisticated look throughout the living areas, while the bedrooms will incorporate comfortable carpeting. Select units will offer private balconies.
Residents will enjoy an array of amenities including an extensive second-floor roof amenity plaza, a fifth-floor club room and rooftop deck, a fully equipped fitness center, a community room, and a local community service organization suite. Additionally, the property will feature an on-site Madison BCycle station, promoting sustainable transportation options.
The property was designed to achieve Wisconsin Green Built Homes certification. Key green features include a rooftop solar array that will help offset electricity usage in the building’s common area, as well as an innovative “blue roof” system—an advanced stormwater management solution that helps reduce runoff.
