Construction Update at U-Square Central: Progress and Exciting Developments

The team at U-Square Central is hard at work, and we’re thrilled to share some exciting updates on the progress of our new apartment community! With construction moving along smoothly, we’re getting closer to welcoming residents to their new homes. Here’s the latest news:

adding 59 Apartments, 215 Bedrooms:
A Premier Student Housing Destination

U-Square Central will feature 59 spacious apartments, totaling 215 bedrooms, designed with students in mind. Offering 2, 3, and 4-bedroom units, this community is perfect for students who are looking for more than just a place to sleep. U-Square Central is the ideal location to live closest to MSU Mankato, making it a top choice for students attending Minnesota State University.

Ensuite Bathrooms in Every Bedroom

One of the standout features of U-Square Central is that each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. This feature is perfect for students who value privacy and comfort, providing a personal space where they can relax and unwind without sharing a bathroom. With these convenient ensuite bathrooms, living at U-Square Central offers the perfect blend of independence and luxury.

Major Milestones: Progress You Can See

  • Sheetrock Complete on Top Floors: One of the key milestones we’ve reached is the completion of sheetrock installation on all floors. This is an exciting step forward, as it brings the interiors of the apartments to life and sets the stage for the final finishes that will make each unit feel like home.

  • HVAC Systems in Place: We’ve also successfully installed the HVAC systems in all units, ensuring that residents will enjoy year-round comfort and climate control. These high-quality systems are designed to be energy-efficient, contributing to a comfortable living experience without the high utility costs.

  • Roof Nearly Complete on the Community Area: The roof of the community area has been completed, marking another big step toward finishing the shared spaces. These areas will be perfect for residents to gather, relax, and enjoy the vibrant community at U-Square Central, making it not just a place to live but a place to thrive.

  • Brickwork Nearly Complete: The brickwork on the exterior of the building is almost finished, giving U-Square Central its polished, modern look. The combination of high-end materials and thoughtful design makes the building stand out as a prime location for student housing and a vibrant residential community.

U-Square Central is 80% Leased!

We’re excited to announce that U-Square Central is already 80% leased! This is a clear indicator of the demand for high-quality student housing in the area. With such a high percentage of leases signed before the building is even fully complete, it’s evident that U-Square Central is becoming one of the most sought-after places to live for students attending Minnesota State University.

Looking Ahead

As construction continues, we are looking forward to even more milestones and, eventually, welcoming new residents to their homes at U-Square Central.

In addition to the beautiful apartments, U-Square Central will offer top-tier amenities including:

  • A state-of-the-art fitness center featuring a yoga studio for those who want to stay active and healthy.

  • Large bike storage for easy access to transportation and outdoor adventures.

  • Numerous private study rooms and group study boardrooms to support both individual focus and collaborative work, perfect for students of MSU Mankato.

  • A game room to relax, unwind, and have fun with friends and fellow residents.

  • A community lounge area, perfect for socializing, relaxing, or hosting events with other residents.

  • A coffee bar to fuel your study sessions or catch up with friends in a cozy setting.

Prime Location: Close to Dining and MSU Mankato

One of the best parts about U-Square Central is its unbeatable location. Situated in the heart of Mankato, you’ll find yourself just walking distance to MSU Mankato, providing an unparalleled level of convenience for students. Whether you're heading to campus for class or meeting up with friends, you’re just moments away from it all.

And when it comes to food, U-Square’s location has you covered. The area is filled with a variety of dining options, including Chipotle, Nautical Bowls, and Weggy’s, among many other great spots. Whether you’re craving a quick bite, a healthy meal, or a fun place to hang out with friends, you’ll have plenty of choices right near your doorstep.

We’ll keep you updated with more progress as we approach our grand opening. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to inquire about available units before they’re all gone—especially if you're looking to live closest to MSU Mankato and enjoy the convenience of ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom!

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for following along on this exciting journey at U-Square Central!
