700 UBD

700 UBD is a boutique luxury residential development at 700 University Bay Drive in the Village of Shorewood Hills, strategically positioned within Madison's most concentrated medical and academic district. The building sits directly across from UW Hospital and Clinics and the VA Hospital, establishing a walk-to-work relationship with two of the region's largest employers that shapes the building's identity and informs its design at every scale. A mixed-use ground floor activates the street with commercial storefront space, reinforcing the pedestrian character of the University Bay Drive corridor and connecting the building to the broader fabric of the surrounding neighborhood. Studio through three-bedroom floorplans are offered across the residential levels, with nine units designated as affordable housing under regional income restriction guidelines, reflecting a commitment to socioeconomic integration within a predominantly high-end residential offering.

The building's façade composition responds to its position within the mature residential and institutional landscape of Shorewood Hills, balancing a contemporary architectural expression with the refined character of its village setting. Private balconies and patios extend from individual units, offering residents elevated views over the Shorewood Hills tree canopy. Interiors are organized around open-concept floor plans with kitchen islands featuring integrated breakfast bars, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the primary living areas, and generous walk-in closets consolidate storage to keep the active living zones open and unencumbered. Below grade, a heated underground parking structure with EV charging and secure indoor bicycle storage connected to the campus bike path address the full spectrum of resident transportation needs.

Shared amenities are distributed across the building to support both the social and practical dimensions of daily life. A community room and resident lounge with media and Wi-Fi serves as the primary indoor gathering space, while an elevated outdoor terrace with built-in gas grills and lawn game space provides a communal outdoor environment with views into the surrounding canopy. A fitness center, dedicated package delivery room, and dry-cleaning drop-off station round out a building designed with the particular needs of its medical and academic resident community clearly in mind.
