Madison’s Apex Property Management and design firm Kahler Slater are looking to develop a spot situated between houses near the start of East Gorham Street near the Capitol Square, the Wisconsin State Journal reports. They presented a preliminary concept for an apartment building to the Landmarks Commission on Monday.The facility would be a five-story, 22-unit apartment building constructed in front of an existing carriage house at 124 Gorham St. and include 33 underground parking stalls. The development team is also interested in restoring and using the carriage house, built in the 1860s, but for a new purpose.
The renovated carriage house would provide community space and, if the structure allows, a couple more housing units. As the site is located in the Mansion Hill Historic District, architectural changes there are subject to more scrutiny than in most other areas of the city.
Commissioners voiced concerns regarding whether or not the new building would blend with the rest of the neighborhood, be too big, or sit too close to the street. The development team will be required to bring a formal proposal back to the Landmarks Commission before the redevelopment can move forward...
RSK: This will take some time to get approval. I have not seen the plans or drawings but sounds like it might be a nice project on the surface.
