Riverhavn Development to Bring Up to 250 Apartments and 16-Story Building to Stoughton

Construction of the Riverhavn development, a project that could bring up to 250 apartments and a 16-story building to Stoughton, is set to begin in the third quarter of 2026. The Alexander Company, a Madison-based developer, plans to build 122 apartments by the third quarter of 2027 on riverfront land near South Fourth Street and East South Street. A second phase of the project, dubbed Riverhavn, would roughly double the number of apartments at the site by 2030. The Stoughton City Council approved a development agreement for the project last week, with Mayor Tim Swadley praising the plans as "thoughtful growth" that would add high-quality housing and enhance the public realm along the riverfront.
