Overview
In 2012, the City of Monona began planning for a major redevelopment project at Bridge Road, Broadway, and the Yahara River. Redeveloping this contaminated brownfield site maximized public access to the waterfront and increased green space. Phase One, “The Current”, was completed in 2019 and brought 96 market-rate apartments to Monona, as well as 30,000 s.f. of commercial and restaurant space.
The building’s design concept references nautical geometries and the masonry piers on its exterior reference boat masts. Rooftop terraces, a shared amenity for residents, were created by stepping down each end of the building’s roof. Along the river, the building flows into the waterway with thoughtfully integrated landscapes and the creative usage of stairways. The earth-tone color palette used on the exterior is further accentuated by heavy timber pergolas used at the front and rear of the building to merge the new structure into the natural landscape.

JLA assisted with the tenant build-outs for Buck & Honey’s restaurant, Lee & Associates, Belle & Beau, and The Tasting Room.
