MADISON, Wis. — A groundbreaking ceremony is set for Thursday at 2 p.m. for a new housing project aimed at helping young people transitioning out of foster care or facing homelessness. The project, named Park Lofts, will be constructed at 1150 South Park Street by Eminent Development Corporation.

Julian Walter, president of Eminent Development and a Madison native, announced that the building will feature 100% affordable housing units. The project is designed to provide essential on-site services, including counseling and job training, and will have community spaces for residents.

Walter expressed his vision for the project, stating, “This project is about more than just building housing; it’s about providing a foundation for young people to build their futures. We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where these individuals can thrive and reach their full potential.”

Local organizations are expected to collaborate with the developer to offer additional support to the young residents of Park Lofts. This initiative highlights a growing commitment to addressing housing insecurity among vulnerable populations in Madison.
