MADISON, Wis. — More affordable housing is coming to Madison.

A groundbreaking was held Wednesday for the first phase of a redevelopment project at Bayview. The first phase of the $50 million project features a 48-unit, four-story apartment building scheduled to open in 2022.

A 25-unit, three-story building and 57 two-story townhouses will also be part of the project.

“This is the kind of housing that’s desperately needed in Madison for people being able to prosper, to raise their children, to be able to get to their jobs, to be able to access all of the services that they need,” Bayview executive director Alexas London said. “This affordable housing plus services is really what’s needed to support people where they’re at and help them grow and prosper.”

The second part of the project will be an 11,000-square foot community center, which will be twice the size of the existing building.
