Despite economy, new apartment tower Grand Central nearly all rented

Considering the view from the 13th floor’s sun-splashed party deck, you can see why developers of a new apartment tower at North Mills and West Johnson streets had the nerve to dub it “Grand Central.”

“We’re in the dead center of campus,” says John Leja, pointing out landmarks during a tour of the more than $20 million apartment project last week. “There’s the chemistry building and the education building, and there’s where the new Union South will go.”

Scheduled to open in August and with all but a handful of the 155 units rented, Grand Central is the most expensive residential development launched in Dane County in the past two years.
