Student housing at 10th and Diamond to be completed by August 2012

Members of Metamorphosis Community Development corporation, Mosaic Development Partners, and Orenes Brothers Real Estate Inc. are partnering in a $20 million student housing complex which is estimated to be completed by next August. The building will be named Diamond Green. Developers are attempting to attract football players by the building’s proximity to the practice field. The complex will include retail, a deli, a daycare center, a fitness center, and indoor parking. The community hopes that the project will bring students out of surrounding neighborhoods and into more designated student housing. Estimated rates are $650/month.
