Those driving downtown on University Avenue or Johnson Street have noticed little old University Square has undergone quite a makeover–from a humble one-story mini-mall–to a massive, 1.1 million-square-foot facility.
Despite some difficulties renting commercial space in the new University Square facility, developers say the trouble on Wall Street hasn’t made its way down University Avenue just yet.
In August, Madison development firm Executive Management, Inc., in partnership with UW–Madison and Steve Brown Apartments, completed construction on the massive 1.1 million-square-foot University Square facility. The building features a ten-story apartment tower, a nine-story office tower, a parking garage and two full floors of commercial retail space.
