Project Overview
Kingston Corners is a mid-rise residential development in Madison's Regent neighborhood, developed by Goldleaf Development for the university-adjacent market. The building occupies a walkable corner along one of Madison's most transit-active corridors, within immediate proximity to the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and the School of Pharmacy. The building's transit-oriented base integrates heated underground parking alongside generous bicycle and moped storage, reflecting the commuter patterns of a resident community as likely to navigate Madison by bike as by car.
Unit interiors are designed with a level of finish detail that elevates the building above the typical University Avenue residential offering. Kitchens are organized around granite countertops, extended-height cabinetry that maximizes vertical storage, breakfast bar configurations, and professional-grade fixtures throughout. Private balconies and patios extend the living envelope outward from individual units, and select ground-floor plans offer direct private entries from the streetscape, creating a townhouse-like residential experience at grade that adds variety and character to the building's lower levels.
The building's most architecturally distinctive feature is the adaptive reuse of its original swimming pool, which Goldleaf Development transformed into a comprehensive wellness and lifestyle hub. The reimagined space houses two infrared saunas, a cardio and yoga studio, a resident theater room, and a dedicated quiet study area, creating a layered amenity program that serves the academic and wellness-oriented priorities of the surrounding community. The conversion demonstrates a willingness to rethink the building's existing spatial inventory rather than default to conventional amenity programming, resulting in a fitness and social environment that is genuinely distinctive within the University Avenue residential landscape.
