Another big student housing project is coming to Downtown after Madison City Council vote

The 1,600-bed complex, which includes a small amount of lower-income rent prices, would see four buildings erected on the block bounded by Johnson, Gorham and Broom streets. Given the moniker “Johnson & Broom,” the latest development from Chicago-based Core Spaces features another agreement between the company, the city and UW-Madison to give some future student tenants lower rents than they’d get in other market-rate apartments.
