Charlottesville Student Apartments
Demand for off-campus housing is surging in Charlottesville, prompting the University of Virginia to engage CHA in designing new student apartments to meet this growing need.
This 435-bed complex will offer a range of unit types from studios to four-bedrooms, clustered around a central courtyard which contains a pool and outdoor gathering spaces. Other on site amenities include multiple types and sizes of study rooms, a clubhouse, fitness center and even a dog wash. Sited on a steep site, lower levels of parking are buried into the hill, allowing the amenities and units to look out over the adjacent neighborhoods.
Project summary
New construction of 46,000 square feet.
The 435-bed complex with various unit types.
New enrollment of 3,785 students in 2024.
