During move-in, we ask tenants to use street parking while unloading, if you have an underground parking permit you may pull in as long as your vehicle does not surpass height restrictions. If any vehicles are found blocking the garage entryway or are parked without a pass you face the chance of being towed. We ask tenants to be mindful when loading into the elevator as if the doors are left open for too long it will throw off the censors, causing the elevators to temporarily shut down.

 

There is a call box located to the left of the interior entry door, guests can simply enter your unit number then press the green dial button. Upon buzzing the cell phone number for the tenant will be called by the following number: 608-257-1849. Simply answer the call and press 9 on your keypad. 

 

The machines operate on a Smart Card system. The add-value machine is located near the first-floor laundry room, a $10 bill is required for the initial purchase of a laundry card.

During key pick-up, if you have added underground parking onto your lease you will receive a parking tag. We ask that this tag is visible from your rearview mirror at all times, numbers/logo should be facing outwards.

Subletting options are available, with possibilities of either finding a new tenant on your own or with our assistance. With a tenant found subletter there will be a $75 fee.
