$16M Residential Project Breaks Ground in July

WICHITA FALLS, TX-Readying for a July start, Collegiate Development Services LP will develop its second turnkey design-build for Midwestern State University. The $16-million student housing project will sit on a five-acre gateway tract to the fast-growing campus.

The 96-unit dormitory, with 276 beds, will go up at the corner of Louis J. Rodriguez Drive and Midwestern Parkway. “This will be a very nice improvement to the campus. Midwestern is a very heavily traveled street,” says Jack Seay, senior development manager for the Irving, TX-based niche company.

Brad Parker, Collegiate’s development manager, says the three-story building, with two- and four-bedroom units, will take one year to build. Dallas-based Hensley Lamkin Rachel Inc. of Dallas is the architect; with Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, also from Dallas, as the civil engineer.
