A development proposal by the McGrath Property Group would replace Coliseum Bar & Banquet and the Wonder Bar steakhouse with a $40 million, 18-story housing project.
The proposal comes as one of the latest additions to transform the area surrounding the Alliant Energy Center into a “Destination District,” a collaborative effort between the city of Madison and Dane County. The proposed structure would create 291 apartment units, several floors dedicated to 12,500 square feet of commercial space and offices and a three-story parking garage.
