Construction is completed at The Derby in Madison, Wisconsin. McShane Construction Company provided design-assist construction services on behalf of repeat client Lincoln Avenue Communities.
The affordable housing community integrates 70 apartments and 1,100 square feet of ground-floor office space for a local community group.
Units are offered with one to three bedrooms and boast stainless steel kitchen appliances, shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and in-unit washers and dryers. First-floor units offer private patios, and units on floors two through four have private balconies. Fourteen of the units meet Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) accessibility requirements.
The building boasts 2,600 square feet of amenity space including a common area with a full kitchen, a fitness room, a shared laundry room, outdoor gathering space, a kids’ play place and playground, and a dog park. The first-floor office suite incorporates three private offices, a conference room, community service facility, classroom, and a reception and work area.
Designed by Knothe & Bruce Architects, the building features four stories of wood frame construction atop an underground precast parking garage. The exterior façade combines composite lap and panel siding with brick veneer.
The project is Enterprise Green Communities Certified and integrates Energy Star rated appliances and a full solar array system on the roof to power the common areas.
