Monona businessman and campus landlord Richard Fritz is proposing a six-story, 36-unit student apartment building at 125 N. Randall Ave.
Located across from the Camp Randall greenspace, the site currently has four rental homes owned by Fritz. Plans call for razing those buildings and replacing them with new construction.
The project is before the City Urban Design Commission tonight for its first public review but developers acknowledge there are issues yet to be resolved. The major hangup is whether the project would conform to the city’s new Regent Street/South Campus Master Plan. That plan, awaiting final approval of the City Council, calls for stepping back the upper floors of new buildings to make them appear less dense.
