Curiously, the rendering below does not include the Adria, a 10-story apartment complex currently under construction just a few steps down the block from the proposed The Moment.

Capital Times, 1/18/2023

Local developer T. Wall Enterprises is seeking a zoning change to build a 15-story apartment complex called The Moment at 131 W. Wilson St., the site of the now shuttered Paisan’s restaurant and office building. The Moment would include 263 units and underground parking. 

The Moment was approved by Madison’s Plan Commission earlier this month. 

The Plan Commission approved the demolition of the old Paisan’s building this past summer after multiple closings and reopenings of the building since 2020.
