Taking Shape, Our Triangle: Madison’s Redevelopment Breaks Ground:
On August 13, 2025, the City of Madison’s Community Development Authority and New Year Investments broke ground on Building B1, the first phase of the Taking Shape, Our Triangle redevelopment.
This marks the beginning of a decade-long effort to transform the CDA Triangle neighborhood with affordable housing, upgraded infrastructure, and resident-focused design.
Community Voices at the Center of Redevelopment
State and local leaders celebrated the milestone as a true example of collaboration and community-driven progress. Governor Tony Evers described it as “putting the power back into the community’s hands,” while Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway emphasized the shared commitment to building “compassionately and together.”
The project will revitalize the Triangle properties—including Brittingham, Gay Braxton, Karabis, and Parkside High-rise—offering a brighter future for thousands of Madison residents.
