Overview

This 1.53-acre redevelopment site includes an existing historic hotel building known as Hotel Ruby Marie, along with current operations associated with Come Back In and Essen Haus Restaurant. The assemblage is positioned for redevelopment under previously granted city approval for a 164-unit apartment building and a 100-room hotel.

The property is located at 522 E Wilson Street in Madison, Wisconsin, with additional stated addresses of 508–518 E Wilson Street and 134–150 S Blair Street. The listing describes the site as offering views of Lake Monona.

For buyers or developers seeking an urban mixed-use or hospitality-focused redevelopment, the confirmed approval supports both residential and hotel components on one parcel. The presence of an on-site historic hotel building may also factor into planning for reuse, renovation, or phased redevelopment, depending on the buyer’s concept and timeline.
