University Housing Solutions Announces Development of Student Housing Residential Campus Adjacent

DOVER, Del., Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- University Housing Solutions(UHS) a Delaware development firm focused on higher-education-related projects, has begun development of a student-focused residential campus on 30 acres of land it owns adjacent to Delaware State University(DSU) in Dover.

During its recent efforts for a Public Private Partnership development for student housing with DSU, UHS learned of an immediate, urgent need for student housing, that had not been previously anticipated.

To accommodate this urgent need, UHS plans to immediately build a 500-bed student residential development, with the ability to add an additional 1,500 beds. The UHS project will include a food court and convenient retail space. With the only suitable property currently available on or contiguous to the main campus, UHS will address the current student housing shortage through an expedited approval, design and construction effort, and have sufficient remaining land to provide for future student housing needs within a master-planned, student-oriented residential campus.

A more comprehensive proposal that included construction of a new Convocation and Athletic Center, an indoor track, academic, office and convention space was previously offered to DSU. That proposal has not yet been embraced by DSU. UHS remains hopeful that DSU will join forces to build the more expansive project, to benefit the entire DSU and Dover Community.

Martin Kimmel, principal of Kimmel Bogrette Architecture + Site, is leading the effort for UHS. Martin describes the effort as "a serious attempt to bring the highest value to the Delaware State University Community, ensuring a sustainable amount of student housing in support of current needs and future growth. We also envision these additional athletic, convention and exhibition spaces as monumental assets vital to the future of the City of Dover, Kent County, and the State of Delaware."

Martin added that "we remain interested in maintaining a cooperative relationship with DSU and would embrace their renewed interest in our concept, which represents a Win-Win for all parties."

The UHS project team is led by:

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go
