Developer to break ground on $60 million private UAH student apartment complex in October

The private student apartment complex being built at adjacent to the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus now has a name and a price tag.

According to a press release, the apartments will be called Nexus on Holmes, and it is expected to cost $60 million to build. The complex will be at 4315 Holmes Avenue, the former site of Trinity Presbyterian Church, which closed because of declining membership. It will be next to the next to the UAH Campus Recreation Center.

The apartments will be 239,000 square feet, four stories and have 249 units. They will be marketed to upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, university faculty and staff, and others in a mix of four bedrooms-four baths, four bedrooms-two baths, two bedrooms-two baths and one-bedroom furnished apartments.

The project will provide indoor and outdoor amenities for residents, including two courtyards, an outdoor pool and barbecue grilling area, as well as a community kitchen, TV lounge, multi-purpose room and quiet study lounges. Parking will be provided for residents in surface lots adjacent to the new housing community on land that is being leased from UAH.

Nexus will feature green space, pedestrian connectivity to the UAH campus, and for non-related UAH residents, proximity to Cummings Research Park, Redstone Arsenal, MidCity, Bridge Street, and downtown Huntsville.
