Commercial Masonry Contractor in Madison, WI

Corner Stone Construction worked on the exterior masonry at Galaxie Apartments, a prominent high-rise residential building rising above East Washington Avenue in Madison’s downtown area. The project sits at a busy point on the isthmus, where people live, walk, bike, and gather between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona.

​

A Downtown Madison Residence with a Distinct Identity

Galaxie Apartments is more than simply a place to live; it is part of the fabric of urban life in Madison. Its location places it steps away from the Capitol, local shops, eateries, entertainment venues, and interconnected bike networks that make this part of the city lively and walkable.

Unlike low-rise residential construction, a high-rise presents physical challenges in scale, material handling, and project sequencing, all of which affect how exterior masonry is installed and integrated.

​

Scope of Our Commercial Masonry Work

Corner Stone Construction supported the project through exterior commercial masonry services tied to the overall building envelope. The masonry installed on this site was intended to provide long-term strength, weather resistance, and a finished exterior presence appropriate for a downtown residential tower.

Our work involved:

• Setting exterior masonry materials for commercial application

• Following architectural layouts and field measurements

• Working alongside subcontractors on an active schedule

• Meeting safety expectations and workmanship standards throughout construction

Masonry for a Downtown High-Rise

High-rise residential towers present a very different environment than standard commercial builds. Access, staging, and sequencing all become more demanding when work is performed vertically and in tight city surroundings.

Commercial masonry remains a trusted solution in these settings because it delivers a strong exterior presence, dependable performance, and a lasting finish. At Galaxie Apartments, the masonry contributes to a structure meant to be lived in, seen daily, and relied on for years in the heart of Madison.
