Taking Shape: Ground broken on transformational Triangle redevelopment

The City of Madison and the Community Development Authority (CDA) are celebrating the start of construction on a project that is years in the making, hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the “Taking Shape, Our Triangle” redevelopment downtown.

Over the next decade, the Triangle – the neighborhood bordered by West Washington Ave., South Park St., and Regent St. that is shared with the Bayview Foundation, Asian Midway Grocery Store, and medical service providers – will see several new buildings containing deeply affordable modern homes for those who currently live in CDA properties within the Triangle. Hundreds of additional new homes for people across different income levels will also be created in future phases of this project.

Leo’s notes: Madison’s Triangle redevelopment is more than new housing—it’s a model for equitable, anti-displacement investment. By replacing outdated public housing with modern, sustainable homes while ensuring current residents stay rooted, the city is honoring the past and building a stronger, more connected future.
