Once only a vision, the Bayview Foundation's $58 million redevelopment on the "The Triangle" Downtown is rising, embraced as a new home for its diverse, low-income residents and as a head-turning model for Madison.
A year ago, Bayview moved some of its residents from its 102 obsolete townhouses to an eye-catching, orangey-red, four-story building with 48 units and top floor community room at the corner of West Washington Avenue and Regent Street.
Now, the nonprofit foundation is completing an 11,500-square-foot community center — the heartbeat of Bayview — that will more than double the size of the existing worn one and open in January. There are also a 25-unit apartment building and six- and seven-unit townhouses in a bold array of colors, with residents moving in this month.
