This is what they were showing when they sold the place. Good luck with the cantilever crown actually being built. But we can hope that it was part of the design that they paid for.According to Finance & Commerce, the sale of the properties included in this project closed December 18th. Here is the rendering they released.

I also discovered this on a company who does renderings for marketing with a quick google image search... very real, very stripes.

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
Even in the genre of architectural renderings that is something. Who knew there were plans for Huron to get a sidewalk on the western side with a grass buffer to the street?
The couple that look like they've just jaywalked across the street together is a nice touch as well

So in a Daily article about stick construction, CPM says that this is their only Steel building: http://www.mndaily.com/news/campus/2014 ... ilt-sticks
Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
Thanks for the pictures. I thought I saw stick construction on the tower part so figured it would be topping off at six floors.

I think they are putting pre assembled stick panels between the steel beams.Thanks for the pictures. I thought I saw stick construction on the tower part so figured it would be topping off at six floors.
Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
Driving by the construction site, I still cannot tell which direction they are going with design. Anyone know for sure which one they are doing?
Edit: Now that I look at it more, is the taller portion on the corner bisecting the property with the two shorter buildings running along both streets?

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
Both designs have the same shaped and height of buildings it's just a difference in the exterior material.

To answer your question: yes. The diamond-shaped taller building bisects the two shorter buildings, essentially making a 'W' of sortsDriving by the construction site, I still cannot tell which direction they are going with design. Anyone know for sure which one they are doing?

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
I believe it's more of a triangle of stick buildings with the tower splitting the triangle in half.

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
I grabbed a flyer from the leasing office as I walked by, and checked out their website. I gotta say, the floor plans of these units look terrible. All the units with bedrooms have the same number of bathrooms as bedrooms, but none of them have a bathroom accesible from the main living area, they all require going through a bedroom. And the in 2bdr, 3bdr, and 4bdr, there are tons of pointless hallways.
These apartments aren't huge, every square foot counts. I don't know why they've laid them out like this.
The website in question, have a look for yourself: http://liveatwahu.com/

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
I don't see any pointless hallways-they make better use of the sq/ft.

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
They look very similar to the layouts at Metro Park East, where a friend of mine lives (and doesn't like it). I wonder if private bathrooms might be important in units like these, though, because people (and, more to the point, parents) worry about mixed-gender apartments.

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
They're fully furnished and offer roommate matching, so these are much closer to "dorms" than "apartments." I'll annotate some pointless hallways when I'm not phone posting.
But they're really locking themselves into student housing, no faculty or staff member that wants to stay close to campus (I'm that person!) is going to want to live here.

The studio layout is atrocious.

The only thing it has room for is a single lonely chair. The loneliest of apartments.

That's clearly a beer pong nook. Seems perfectly reasonable for an undergrad apartment.2 bedroom wasted space:

Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
The 2 bedroom (and then same layout in 4 Bed) has to be the closet. Right?
Re: WaHu Student Housing - (1016 Washington Avenue Southeast
It provides closet access in the 4 bed, but doesn't appear to be doing anything in the 2 bed layout. The closet there is adjacent to the door.
