Downtown Madison’s bustling tech hub at 316 W. Washington Ave. soon will feature a hard-to-miss, statement-making lighted mural running the entire height of the 10-story building.
Madison’s newest art installation has already garnered headlines, but the economic ripple effect of privately commissioned art is the real story.
Artist Jonathan Brown of Houston-based Modern Mosaics has been hard at work for the past week overseeing the final stages of installation of his massive 123-foot by 15-foot lighted waterfall mural at the 316 W. Washington Ave. building owned by Hovde Properties (a live video feed of the final stages of installation can be viewed here). But Brown isn’t the only one who’s helped bring this project to life.
Madison, Wisconsin is getting ready to celebrate the unveiling of a first-of-its-kind art installation that will put the midwestern city on the world map for landmark innovation. On Thursday, Nov. 10 from 5-7 p.m., the downtown networking event, New Places, New Faces will be hosted by Downtown Madison Inc., Hovde Properties and award winning mosaic artist Jonathan Brown, to reveal a giant waterfall mural installed with LED lights running the entire height of the 10-story historic building located at 316 W. Washington Ave.
We’ll soon have a waterfall between Lakes Monona and Mendota. A massive, cascading mural will be unveiled on West Washington Avenue on Nov. 10. Its working title is simply “The Waterfall,” though that may give way to “Technology in Motion.” Roughly 15 by 123 feet, it adorns the former AT&T building, 316 W. Washington Ave. “The objective was to make the mural look like it’s in motion, falling down onto the awning, which I also designed,” says artist Jonathan Brown.

Hovde Properties is hoping to redevelop another portion of Main Street in Waunakee with a u-shaped, mixed-use complex. If approved, the redevelopment would bring 14,000 square feet of retail and 117 apartments to the area.
Waunakee Village Board members met in closed session last week to discuss the details of Hovde Properties’ redevelopment proposal for the 200 block of Main Street’s north side. A letter from Hovde Properties to the village notes that the developer has closed on all of the properties acquired for the project and lays out a proposed
As Waunakee says goodbye to 2016, the community can look forward to several new projects in the year to come. From road construction to economic development, the dynamic village should continue to develop. The engineering and utility departments will spend much of their time and energy on the Hwy. Q replacement project. The $3.2 million project will include sewer replacement and new lighting spanning from Woodland Drive to Fourth Street and include new sidewalks.
Building shelters for vulnerable children around the world is a longstanding mission for Hovde Properties and the company’s charitable-giving vehicle, the Hovde Foundation.
The Waunakee Village Board Tuesday approved an economic incentive package for Hovde Properties to help finance construction of a multi-unit commercial building on the Koltes Lumber site.
