Beal | Derkenne Construction began work on the third student housing project within the past 18 months, this one in Tucson.
The project is called Park Avenue. With the work progressing on schedule and the crane foundation in place, the site is getting ready for the rebar installation.
Park Avenue will include 13 stories above and two stories below ground in total, 12 of them to be home to 163 apartments featuring high-end student housing with amenities including a full service deck on the 10th floor with exterior pool and spa.
The first floor will encompass 9,000 SF of retail area to facilitate the day-to-day student needs.
