The mid-rise will deliver 227 units and 749 beds across more than 567,000 square feet, with completion targeted for 2028. QuadReal is providing construction financing.

TheJobWalk Thoughts
The amenity package is where the construction complexity lives on a project like this. A rooftop pool deck, sauna and cold plunge, and multisport simulator are not items you schedule at the end. Each carries structural, mechanical, and coordination requirements that need to be resolved early or they become expensive field problems.
The six-bedroom unit mix is also worth noting. That configuration is uncommon in this market, and it tells you the developer ran serious lease-up analysis before closing. When owners get that specific about unit type, procurement and scheduling decisions tend to follow a tighter logic.
Contractors and suppliers who understand what is driving those decisions are in a much better position to show up at the right time.
