This isn’t your father’s student housing experience. It might not even be your older brother’s.
The swanky, sleek high-rise apartment complexes just steps from the University of Arizona, along with similarly appointed buildings downtown and close to Fourth Avenue, are wrapping up construction this year for the fall 2014 semester and bringing to a close a solid three years of building purpose-driven student housing.
By the end of this year, roughly 1,150 units constituting about 3,200 beds will be built for students, in the towers and elsewhere within blocks of UA. And university-area property owners are already feeling it.
