The Opus Group has recently completed three luxury student housing developments located near university campuses in Iowa, Michigan and Missouri.
All three of the luxury apartments feature upscale amenities including fitness centers, study lounges, club rooms, garage parking, tanning and other shared community spaces. Residents of the new buildings will also enjoy in-unit washers and dryers, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and flat screen televisions in the fully-furnished apartments.
“These three luxury student housing developments make wonderful additions to our portfolio of work and their respective campus neighborhoods,” said Dave Menke, president, Opus Development Company, L.L.C., in a statement. “The new buildings provide students with high-quality living options in unbeatable locations just steps from campus.”
ArborBLU (Ann Arbor, Michigan) Located near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, ArborBLU was built on top of the existing Pizza House restaurant, which stayed open throughout construction. The 13-story student housing complex features 242 beds. In addition to the amenities listed above, the building also has a rooftop terrace with stadium views and is designed to meet LEED Silver certification.

Retail tenants include Starbucks and Barefoot Campus Outfitter. The building was 100 percent leased prior to opening this fall.

The six-story building includes 259 beds. The luxury apartment also features a movie theater, game room and outdoor terrace with fire pits.
