Mendota Court apartment plans move forward

Plans for a newly designed Mendota Court apartment complex have continued to move forward through the development process in recent weeks.

The State-Langdon Neighborhood Association met Thursday at the Student Activity Center to address concerns regarding the proposed complex that had been brought up at previous meetings.

Gary Brink, head of Gary Brink and Associates, the architectural firm behind the complex, presented new site plans for the building. According to current site plans, the complex would be nine stories tall with eight floors and 141 bedrooms.

Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said he gave the new plans a ""thumbs-up,"" and Ald. Bryon Eagon, District 8, said he approved the changes the architect made.

Patrick Corcoran of Patrick Properties, the developer behind the project, said he wanted the units to be affordable to students, but he did not disclose expected rental costs.

The first level would contain two- and three-bedroom units, and levels two and three would have three- and four-bedroom units. The remaining levels would contain five- and six-bedroom units.

Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, said she was concerned having six-bedroom units would create security problems. She said she felt too many people in one area would cause an influx of people, especially during parties.

Corcoran, however, said there would be a great deal of security, including cameras that would help to prevent these kinds of issues.

He also said larger units would satisfy a currently untapped market in Madison.
