UHC To Build OK Community

DALLAS--University House Communities (UHC), formerly known as Inland American Communities Group, is set to develop a new University House community on the site of the current Bishop's Landing apartments near the University of Oklahoma.

Construction will begin on the upscale apartment community this fall, and is scheduled to welcome residents by August 2017.

“Based on our research, the proximity to the University of Oklahoma and accessibility to transportation, we believe a purpose-built property will do well in Norman and attract a range of residents from students to young professionals,” David Pierce, senior vice president development – University House Communities, told GlobeSt.com.

The five-story, 388-unit development will feature 917 beds with studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans, all fully furnished. The community also will include extensive amenities, including three outdoor courtyard areas, a clubroom, pool, 24-hour fitness, parking and on-site management.   

Residents of University House will also enjoy access to campus via the Norman CART bus system, with a transit hub directly across the street from the property.

The project team currently consists of University House Communities as the developer, Humphrey's & Partners Architects and Huitt-Zollars as the civil engineer.

University House will be located near Brooks and Classen at 333 East Brooks St. in Norman.

“University House Communities has five new properties currently under construction in Atlanta, Austin, Birmingham, Charlotte and Tempe,” said Travis Roberts, president – University House Communities, in a release.  “We will continue to identify new development and acquisition opportunities across the country.”
