McShane Construction Company has completed Kelly Station, a 76-unit affordable housing community in Madison, Wisconsin, for Volker Development. The five-story, 109,000-square-foot development marks the first collaboration between the two companies.
Located at 2462 E. Washington Avenue, Kelly Station features four floors of apartment residences above an above-grade precast parking garage. The building’s exterior combines ground-level masonry with Hardie plank and lap siding on the upper floors.
“Completing our first project with Volker Development is an exciting milestone for our team,” says Alison Gorham, VP & Director of Wisconsin Operations at McShane. “Kelly Station reflects a shared commitment to delivering quality affordable housing that prioritizes both residents and the surrounding community.”
The development offers one- to three-bedroom apartments featuring natural wood cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, luxury vinyl-tile flooring and private balconies or patios.
Resident amenities include a second-floor roof plaza, fifth-floor club room and rooftop deck, fitness center, community room and dedicated space for a local community service organization. An on-site Madison BCycle station provides additional transportation access.
Sustainability is another key component of the project, which is pursuing Wisconsin Green Built Homes certification. Features include a rooftop solar array designed to offset common-area energy consumption and a blue roof system that manages stormwater and reduces runoff.
Kelly Station represents Volker Development’s first new construction project in Dane County and its 27th development in Wisconsin. The company focuses on expanding affordable and workforce housing opportunities nationwide.
“This building will provide community, support, and a place each resident can be proud to call home,” says Travis Fauchald, Managing Director of Development at Volker. “We look forward to the next project with McShane and are eager to continue delivering attainable housing options in Wisconsin and the rest of the Midwest.”
The project also participates in the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority’s Emerging Business Program, which supports opportunities for economically disadvantaged businesses.
