The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has embarked on a redevelopment project with the help of Greystar Real Estate Partners (Greystar), aimed at providing 473 new units of student housing.<\/p>\n

The project will provide 588 beds in 473 units of furnished, attainably priced, graduate-focused housing and a rich amenity base designed to serve the needs of today’s UPenn graduate students.<\/p>\n

Greystar has united with the local Philadelphia team of Barton Partners Architecture and Hunter Roberts Construction Group to complete a comprehensive renovation and modernization of Sansom Place East, while maintaining the exterior design integrity. This approach will create best-in-class housing for UPenn’s graduate student population while maintaining Richard and Dion Neutra’s original architecture.<\/p>\n

The redeveloped Sansom Place East will provide complete bed-to-bath parity, wherein each bed will have a corresponding private bathroom, including in the two-bedroom units. Each of the 473 units will also have its own washer\/dryer. Greystar will be delivering more than 1115 (12,000 sf) of state-of-the-art amenity space to include a fitness center, co-working lounges, a test kitchen, study rooms and large multi-function rooms. Additionally, Greystar will fully renovate the existing outdoor plaza with a deck, landscape, hardscape, and seating along with an indoor-outdoor connection to the new amenity space.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to the Sansom Place East property, the existing occupied commercial retail at street level and the Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art will remain open during construction.<\/p>\n

Construction for the project began in January, with an opening in time for the beginning of the 2023 to 2024 academic year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
