The obvious mammoth of development projects in the area, Collegetown Terrace by Novarr-Mackesey will be adding 589 net additional bedrooms once fully completed (and a total of 1,226 new bedrooms, due to the demolition of existing buildings). The project has been split into two phases, with phase one focusing on the demolition and build outs along State St, and phase two focusing on the demolition and build outs further into the site. The State St buildings reflect a design aesthetic typical of the surrounding area, while the buildings further in reflect a more modern style. The total space to be redeveloped clocks in at just over 12 acres.
The huge “glass box” at the north-center of the site will house a fitness facility, and the property will include outdoor amenities like walking paths, bike racks, tables and underground parking for residents (beneath certain buildings).
