Gilbane Development has opened the temporary leasing office for MXWL, giving University of Kentucky students their first chance to explore a new kind of student‑centered living experience. Opening Fall 2027 and located at 201 East Maxwell Street—just steps from UK’s campus—MXWL is designed to reflect the traditions, energy, and ambition that define the Wildcat community.
More than an apartment building, MXWL is crafted as a home base for academic drive, campus pride, and every day well‑being. Its location places students right where they want to be: close to class, close to Rupp Arena and Kroger Field, and close to the heart of Lexington’s student life.
Built for the way Wildcats live, study, and connect
MXWL’s amenities are intentionally designed around the rhythms of UK student life. Three exterior courtyards offer space to unwind after labs, meet up before heading to State Street, or celebrate big wins on game days. Private study rooms and coworking lounges give students the quiet focus they need for exam prep, group projects, and late‑night study sessions.
A rooftop amenity deck—with views of campus and downtown Lexington—creates a signature gathering space for residents. The state‑of‑the‑art fitness center, outdoor sauna, jacuzzi, fire pits, and grilling stations bring together everything students need to stay active, relax, and build community.
Modern living that supports student success
Inside each fully furnished unit, students will find features designed for comfort, privacy, and convenience. Private bathrooms, walk‑in closets, in‑unit washer/dryer, high‑speed internet, and full kitchens with energy‑efficient appliances create a seamless living experience that supports both academic focus and personal well‑being.
