Overview

Accommodate the university’s rapidly growing student population, catalyzed by its sister Courtside apartment complex.

Implementation

Developed with a focus on amenities, including a rooftop study and event space and the Wild Duck Cafe, a local sports-themed restaurant and game room at the street level, the building also offers views of the Matthew Knight Basketball Arena and serves as a place to unwind.

Results

The building features 76 one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments with covered parking and amenities, including a resident lounge, game room, library and roofdeck. The building has an ecoroof that filters and stores stormwater to reduce water runoff onto the site.
