University Lofts - Strategic Capital Partners Announces the Opening of New Student Housing
University of Indianapolis students start the spring semester in new digs at University Lofts apartments
January 24, 2019 (Indianapolis, IN) The University of Indianapolis continues to respond to students’ changing needs by developing cutting-edge apartments in partnership with Indianapolis-based Strategic Capital Partners, LLC (SCP).
University Lofts is a 118-unit, 300-bed apartment complex offering furnished single, double and quad rooms with private baths, kitchens, living areas, and washers and dryers.
University Lofts sits on nearly two acres of land owned by a joint venture between SCP and the University. The complex is adjacent to campus and only a short walk from the city’s planned rapid transit bus Red Line which will connect the University to downtown Indianapolis, the north side and popular entertainment districts.
Now, only nine months after the groundbreaking celebration, student residents are nestled in and eager to show others their new home during a campus open house.
What: University Lofts Open House – The University of Indianapolis welcomes students, faculty, administrators and invited guests to celebrate University Lofts and tour the building. Media are invited to cover this event.
When: Friday, January 25, 2019, Noon – 2:00 p.m.
Where: 1340 National Avenue (between National and Standish)
This $20.5 million investment in University Lofts is a testimony to the University’s commitment to the campus and neighboring communities.
University of Indianapolis President Robert L. Manuel said the University Lofts partnership is the latest example of the connection between the University's vision for the next 30 years defined in 2012 through Vision 2030. In addition to meeting the student demand for high-quality, affordable living options near campus, Manuel said, “University Lofts continues the University’s focus on creating community-gathering places where learning happens so that we can do our best work together. As the University grows, these amenities set the stage for vibrant student life and intellectual development.”
Will Zink, SCP’s senior vice president of construction and development, shares President Manuel’s passion for community improvement. “We’re honored to partner with the University on developments that expand student housing options while enhancing the campus community and excited to see students fill the Lofts’ west building so soon after completion.”
Creating a quality complex like University Lofts requires talent and experience. SCP was proud to partner with CSO Architects and Compass Commercial Construction Group to design and build the project, and has hired Peak Campus to manage University Lofts.
University Lofts is the second housing collaboration for SCP and the University. Greyhound Village, which opened in 2016, is a 4-story building with 196-units housing up to 480 students. Greyhound Village features a mix of furnished one, two, three and four-bedroom units with private baths, kitchens, living areas, and washers and dryers, and is also managed by Peak Campus.
