Dozens of commercial and residential infill developments are itemized in this report about the ongoing construction boom on Madison’s isthmus. But these private-sector developments are dwarfed by what is taking place on the UW-Madison campus, where two dozen significant projects have been completed since February 2005, are now under construction or have been proposed for the next five years.
Though fewer in number than the noted private-sector projects, these UW developments are larger in scale: In total, they represent almost $1.5 billion (with a b) in value — about three times the total invested in private-sector developments for the same period. (See related Isthmus story.)
