Crescent Resources plans 167-unit student condo tower near The University of Texas

The Business Journal article is calling that West Campus project a "condo tower". It's 167 units, "477 beds" on 1.6 acres. I wonder how high it'll go.

Crescent Resources plans 167-unit student condo tower near The University of Texas

Crescent Resources LLC, which emerged from bankruptcy last year, will soon break ground on a student housing complex near The University of Texas in West Campus.

The Circle West Campus project near West 25th and Longview streets will total 167 units with about 477 beds. Crescent said the 1.6-acre property will include a resort-style pool, tanning beds, community study cafe and lounge. Units will range from studios to one-, two- and four-bedroom apartments.

Construction is slated to begin this month with an opening in June 2012. The project is designed to meet Austin Energy Green Building Multifamily requirements. Austin-based Kelly Grossman Architects LLC handled designs, while Rampart Construction is the general contractor. The civil engineer is Bury+Partners Inc. of Austin.

More apartments coming to UT campus area

By Shonda Novak | Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 11:13 AM


Crescent Resources LLC plans to start construction this month on a 167-unit apartment project on a vacant site at West 25th and Longview streets near the University of Texas campus, with the first units ready for residents in June 2012.

Circle West Campus will have a mix of studios and one-, two-, and four-bedroom apartments with a total of 477 beds. The complex will have a pool, tanning beds, a community study café and lounge and a recreation room with the latest interactive gaming systems, a pool table and a poker table.

Crescent Resources, based in Charlotte, N.C., says its Circle apartment projects are highly sought-after in its four existing communities in Tampa; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Charlotte and Concord, N.C. Circle communities feature environmentally conscious design and materials, upscale amenities and Energy Star appliances, Crescent officials say.

Resort-style pool, tanning beds, community study cafe and lounge.

Are they designing this for college students or wild and wooly parties?

21 Rio has 140 units and occupies the entire block. This one should do the same, but there's also a vacant spot to the north of it. I hope they only occupy that first half. If they do, it could end up being a floor or two taller than 21 Rio, which would put it at 23 floors and probably 250 feet. But, that area is so near Lamar that I kind of doubt it'll be that tall.

Rendering

Looks like it will be around 5-6 stories. While it may not be a highrise, it will certainly add density to the area.

"tower" lol

It's hardly a tower. And it's not even condos. It's a 5-story apartment building.
