The proposal by McGrath Property Group, which will provide 192 apartments, 13,500 square feet of commercial space and more than 200 parking spaces in a three-floor garage, is the fourth iteration of a project for the site at the corner of East Olin Avenue and John Nolen Drive on the South Side. The council voted unanimously to approve a required rezoning, the last main nod needed.

It’s the McGrath Property Group’s fourth iteration of a project in a year for the site at the corner of East Olin Avenue and John Nolen Drive on the South Side.
Eleven months ago, McGrath offered a controversial, 18-story project with 291 apartments, 12,500 square feet of commercial space and parking that would have razed the Coliseum Bar, 232 E. Olin, and the Wonder Bar, 222 E. Olin. The building would likely have been the city’s third-tallest behind the state Capitol and UW-Madison’s Van Hise Hall, and certainly the tallest building with a residential component.
In December, McGrath cited rising costs and informally described a much smaller project — likely four or five stories — over two levels of parking that would have allowed the Wonder Bar to stay put.
But now, the developer is returning to the 12-story project, a height that complies with a recently approved South Madison Plan, Lance McGrath said.

If approved, it would be the 3rd tallest building in Madison.
