Luxury student housing planned near Iowa State University
A Houston based company, Sterling University Housing, plans to build a luxury 500 bed complex near Iowa State University in Ames with a pool, hot tubs, sand volleyball, poolside pizzas, a clubhouse, 24 hour maintenance and a fitness center. The complex expected to cost completion in 2001 would be among the largest privately owned student housing in Ames and rents per bed would be capped at 380 dollars. ISU officials say they welcome the project though landlords worry about enrollment growth and competition with Hawthorn Court already under construction.
