On the morning of August 13th, 2025, the CDA of the City of Madison and New Year Investments hosted residents, neighbors, community stakeholders and project partners in a celebration of the groundbreaking of Taking Shape B1, the first building in the Taking Shape, Our Triangle redevelopment.
The construction site served as the backdrop for the community gathering. Project team members, state and local officials shared remarks as we celebrated the dedication that brought the redevelopment to this point and the promise it offers for the future.
“Folks, this redevelopment is an incredible milestone for the Madison community. Together, you're putting the power back into the community's hands, giving residents access to a space where they can grow, plan for their future, and thrive.”
Governor Tony Evers
“We need affordable housing more than ever.”
U.S. Representative Mark Pocan - 2nd District of Wisconsin
“…we are building more housing units, investing in our community, growing our community, and really investing in what makes this city, this county, this state, and this country extraordinary - which is understanding that when you take care of people, we will reap what we sow.”
Elmer Moore Jr. - WHEDA CEO & Executive Director
“When we work steadily, and we work smartly, and we work compassionately, and we work together, we can deliver big things for our communities.”
