State Street Campus Garage Mixed-Use Project

 

The City of Madison is pursuing an exciting new development opportunity that would be a mixed-use project containing an intercity bus terminal, public parking structure, ground floor retail, and housing - the State St Campus Garage Mixed-Use Project.

The State Street Campus Garage at 415 N. Lake Street was constructed in 1964 and contains 510 regular stalls, 7 disabled stalls, 24 bicycle spaces, 16 motorcycle/moped spaces, 2 electric vehicle charging stations, and 5 spaces for authorized vehicles (City staff, cashiers, etc).  The 542 space addition at 430 N. Frances Street was constructed in 1982.   The original structure is approaching the end of its useful life and has become financially challenging for the City to continue to invest in its ongoing maintenance. 

The site is bounded by Lake Street on the west, a group of buildings that front on State Street on the north, N. Frances Street on the east, and a group of buildings that front on University Avenue on the south.  See Figure 1 below. Hawthorne Court runs north/south between the existing parking structures.

Project Goals

The project goals are:

Economic Development

  1. Unlock the development potential of City-owned, tax-exempt parcel to significantly expand the City’s tax base and employment, consistent with the Project Requirements found in Section 3 of the RFP.
  2. Unlock the development potential of the site through careful selection of mixed uses that includes retail and housing along with intercity bus terminal and parking.

Residential

  1. Attract additional residents and increased density to the central business district/downtown to increase the vitality of the area.

Retail, Restaurant, and Entertainment

  1. Draw residents and visitors to a mix of retail and restaurants that engage and activate the sidewalk and street.

Bicycles

  1. Enhance Lake Street as an important connection for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Parking

  1. Replace the State Street Campus Garage at 415 N. Lake Street with a new parking facility that connects to the 430 N. Frances Street addition and that serves the public parking needs in the area and the above ground development.
  2. Ensure the design of the project, which has a 75 year horizon life cycle cost, is affordable for the Parking Utility to continue its mission to provide service to the public.

Intermodal Connectivity

  1. Create a permanent City-owned intercity bus terminal that is off-street and integrated into the mixed-use development.
  2. Ensure high quality pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to Metro Transit and intercity bus hub.
