Brendan Baxter, vice president of Kayser Automotive Group, is proposing to tear down the current two-story building at 555 West Washington Ave. on the corner of Bedford Street and to build a 44-unit apartment complex. 

"We’re really trying to re-establish that historic residential Bassett neighborhood," Baxter said. 

The proposed development site has a historic connection to Baxter's family business. In the early 1940s, the site was a car dealership.

Next step:  Madison Urban Design Commission review on May 23.
