Shippensburg University Student Services Inc. and Philadelphia-based Campus Apartments have broken ground on the first phase of development to upgrade the university\u2019s stock of on-campus residences. Costing an estimated $200 million, the three-phase project is slated for completion by summer 2015, with the first phase expected to be finished by January 2013.<\/p>\n

The $70 million first phase will include the construction of three residential buildings to accommodate 924 students. The facilities will include semi-suite and full-suite floor plans, multipurpose programming areas and study and social lounges. One of the buildings will also include a 13,000-square-foot wellness center, and another will be a new home for the university\u2019s Honors Program.<\/p>\n

As the project owner, the nonprofit SUSSI partnered with Campus Apartments to develop and finance the project, whose goal is to improve the quality of on-campus housing at the university (and thus help improve the school\u2019s competitiveness in recruiting students). To finance the project\u2019s first phase, Campus Apartments employed bond financing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our collaboration with RBC Capital, Campus Apartments was able to close favorable tax-exempt bond financing of about $70 million for the first phase of this project,\u201d Dan Bernstein, senior vice president and chief investment officer at Campus Apartments, tells Multi-Housing News. \u201cThe financial community recognized the experience of the development team, the commitment of the university and the underlying strength of this deal, which resulted in broad investment appeal for the bond issue and a favorable rate. As a result, the university will be able to preserve capital for other core university initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
