Continuing an unrelenting trend, a developer is proposing to demolish eight two- and three-story apartment buildings for an estimated $50 million, 12-story housing project at the corner of North Bassett and West Johnson streets Downtown. 
Subtext Development of St. Louis, Missouri, wants to raze buildings at 308 and 312 N. Basset St.; 504, 520, 522 and 524 W. Johnson St.; and 505 and 527 Conklin Place for the 12-story project with a rooftop terrace. Called “Verve Living,” it would offer 140 to 150 apartments plus parking. 
“Subtext is proposing this project to help address the increasing demand for housing in Madison,” development manager Mitch Korte said. “The proposed project is in line with the city’s Downtown Plan for the Johnson Street Bend, which calls for high-density housing up to 12 stories.
