Real estate development and investment firm CRG on Tuesday announced the start of construction on Chapter Mifflin, a six-story, 516-bed student housing community in Madison’s Mifflin District, adjacent to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The project is situated on a 1.5-acre site of 12 contiguous parcels at 416-436 W. Washington Ave. and 413-417 W. Mifflin St., which were rezoned for higher-density residential.
Chapter Mifflin will offer 162 fully furnished units — with a mix of studio, one-, two-, four- and five-bedroom apartments — and amenities including outdoor terraces and a public walking path connecting West Washington Avenue to West Mifflin Street.
There will also be a fitness center, private and group study areas with conferencing technology, multiple outdoor courtyards, a hot tub, a bocce court and grilling and dining areas. A fifth-floor terrace will house additional lounge areas overlooking Mifflin Street.
The site will also contain a parking garage with electric vehicle charging stations and bike storage.
The project is scheduled to be completed for the 2027-28 academic year, with pre-leasing expected to commence in summer 2026.
Chapter Mifflin was designed by architecture firm Lamar Johnson Collaborative, a subsidiary of CRG’s parent company, Clayco. Wisconsin-based CG Schmidt will serve as general contractor.
