Cheatham Street Flats will be a multi-story steel-framed student housing complex with 234 beds.
SAN MARCOS, TX—There are increasingly higher rates of enrollment at colleges and universities throughout the country, ultimately resulting in the urgent need for affordable student housing. However, the cost of the overall development and labor is high, which drives up the cost of rent.
Modular construction is being used in some areas to address these issues. One such project is Cheatham Street Flats, a multi-story steel-framed student housing complex. The housing project will replace the current blighted city block with a contemporary exterior and modern interior that will service the community of Texas State University.
