Literally part of the HERE pitch. Looks like they dropped prices!

 

“HERE is Lawrence's newest and most innovative campus apartment community. Our premium fully-furnished apartments have modern aesthetics, stunning bathrooms and kitchens, and state-of-the-art amenities you won't see anywhere else. Just blocks from the KU campus, HERE is perfect for students looking for stylish yet convenient housing. We are the very best in modern luxury -- and we also take pride in our commitment to providing a secure and safe environment for all residents.”

How does flooding the market thus creating large numbers of empty bedrooms impact our local economy? How are these new apartments necessarily 

safer?

It takes a little while to get going, but this story provides a good overview of the national phenomenon that brought us the HUB proposal: developers targeting areas near college campuses for upscale student living. Money quote:

 

“The dramatic rise in rents also coincides with national developers starting to eye the areas around public universities as a growth market. Real estate companies bulldoze aging buildings to put up the kinds of amenity-rich, luxury apartments that might appeal to upper-middle-class parents looking for a safe, comfortable place for their student to live.”
