First Student Housing Community Serving Fox Valley Technical College

Fox Valley Technical College, the largest technical college in Wisconsin, had been planning to add a housing component for ten years. General Capital first met with the College in the fall of 2014 to learn about its requirements. Our firm developed a collaborative relationship with the school, which led to an affiliation agreement that serves as a blueprint for marketing, leasing, and operations. General Capital secured a site a block away, designed a 275 bed project, and began construction in September 2015. Tech Village, scheduled to be completed before classes begin for the fall 2016 semester, is viewed as a key recruitment and retention tool for the College.

KEY THEMES

  • Purpose-built student housing addressed a long-standing need for residential options serving Fox Valley Technical College students
  • Collaborative partnership with the College established an affiliation framework for marketing, leasing, and ongoing property operations
  • Strategic location approximately one block from campus provides convenient access to classes, services, and the broader college community
  • Student-focused development supports Fox Valley Technical College's broader recruitment, retention, and campus-experience objectives
  • Purpose-designed apartments created a dedicated residential community for students attending Wisconsin's largest technical college

RESULTS
