Conway at Huxley Yards
The Conway at Huxley Yards is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. 

McShane Construction Company’s Wisconsin Regional Office was selected to build The Conway at Huxley Yards for repeat client Lincoln Avenue Communities. Located in Madison, Wisconsin, the affordable housing residence will offer 50 units in a five-story building.

“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Lincoln Avenue Communities and begin our fourth project together,” commented Alison Gorham, Vice President & Director of Wisconsin Operations at McShane. “We’re excited to watch this development come to life and provide much-needed affordable housing in Madison.”

Positioned on a 1.7-acre site at 1846 Commercial Avenue, the development will incorporate a five-story podium-style building with four wood-framed residential floors atop a single-story, above-grade precast parking garage. The exterior will integrate Hardie fiber-cement siding with brick and aluminum panel trim. The architect of record is Knothe & Bruce Architects.

Each unit will feature upscale finishes, including luxury vinyl tile flooring, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Amenities will include a fitness room, community room, mail room, and leasing area. This project was designed to achieve Wisconsin Green Built Homes Gold Certification and Energy Star Multifamily Certification and is part of the EPA Indoor AirPlus program.

“Lincoln Avenue Communities is proud to have an opportunity to partner again with the McShane team on our fourth Wisconsin development together,” shared Kevin McDonell, VP & Regional Project Partner, Development at LAC. “As a mission-driven development company that prides ourselves in building long-term partnerships, we are incredibly proud and thankful for the partnerships with Dane County, the City of Madison, and McShane Construction that are helping to provide much needed affordable for the community.”

McShane is also currently building The Flats at Bishop’s Woods, a 203-unit affordable housing community in Brookfield, Wisconsin, for Lincoln Avenue Communities.
