Do you think large new housing developments are improving your community?

Veridian Homes began construction on the initial phase of Reiland Grove, a neighborhood on former farmland between Reiner and Felland roads north of Highway 94. The first homesites became available at a grand opening event on Thursday.

Why it matters

The project expands Madison's housing supply on the Far East Side and reflects a larger planned development of roughly 700 single-family, twin, and townhomes. Its scale has grown from an earlier plan of 565 homes after the developer bought additional land.

Veridian Homes plans close to 700 single-family, twin, and townhomes, up from an earlier plan of 565 homes on about 150 acres. Full construction is expected to take roughly 15 to 17 years, and the source does not detail how the project's cost will be divided across phases.

The players

Veridian Homes

Veridian Homes is the residential developer building the Reiland Grove neighborhood in Madison.

Vandewalle & Associates

Vandewalle & Associates is a planning and design firm partnering with Veridian Homes on the Reiland Grove project.

The details

Construction began with streets going in and residential lots taking shape, with sidewalks on every street and space for multiple bike paths. Veridian Homes is working with Vandewalle & Associates, a planning and design firm, and preliminary designs for an adjacent park show pickleball courts, large open areas, a sun shelter, and play structure equipment.

July 2025: Vandewalle & Associates presented the neighborhood's sidewalk and bike path layout to the Plan Commission.
Thursday: Veridian Homes held a grand opening event and celebrated the construction start.
Over the next 15 to 17 years: Full neighborhood construction is expected to be completed.

Roadmap

The Reiland Grove layout was presented to Madison's Plan Commission in July 2025 before construction started, moving the project from review into active development. The project's growth from 565 to close to 700 homes shows the developer expanding the neighborhood as it acquired more land.

Residents on Madison's Far East Side should expect ongoing construction traffic and new home options in the Reiland Grove area over the next 15 to 17 years. The neighborhood's planned sidewalks on every street and multiple bike paths will shape how residents get around once built.

The takeaway

Reiland Grove's planned mix of single-family homes, twin homes, and townhomes offers Madison residents a range of housing types as the neighborhood builds out. Prospective buyers should track the phased timeline as construction advances.
