“Cutting Edge Affordable Housing for Millenials with Historic Renovation of Existing Pioneer Ford Dealership”
Mixed use residential development on the former Pioneer Ford site in Downtown Platteville. Ruxton will include 71 units and approximately 2,500 square feet of commercial space. The building will be four stories tall with a connection into the Pioneer Ford building at the second floor. The Pioneer Ford building will be renovated into a new entrance and community space on the upper floor and retail space/utility rooms on the lower level. Additional retail space will be located in the high profile corner of the building on Water Street. The commercial space could be used for a coffee shop, deli, boutique retail or offices.
The residential portion of the project consists of two rectangular volumes connected by a glass atrium. The design will provide a stunning gateway element at the entrance to Downtown Platteville.
