University Square transfer makes tax liability vanish

In a deal that relieves the university and a private developer of more than $2.15 million in local property tax liability, the UW-Madison has taken ownership of “air space” in a new high-rise building that hasn’t been constructed.

The UW Board of Regents last month approved amending its agreement with Executive Management Inc., the Madison-based real estate firm redeveloping University Square into a $190 million mixed use complex.
