HUNTSVILLE, ALA. — Capstone Development Partners and Boaz Ventures plan to break ground on a $60 million student housing property adjacent to University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) in October. Located at 4315 Holmes Ave. NW near the UAH Campus Recreation Center, the community, dubbed Nexus on Holmes, will be a four-story, 249-unit property with a mix of one-, two- and four-bedroom apartments.
Capstone and Boaz are envisioning the 239,000-square-foot residential property to house undergraduate and graduate students, as well as UAH staff. Amenities will include two courtyards, an outdoor pool, grilling area, community kitchen, TV lounge, multi-purpose room and quiet study lounges.
The design-build team includes general contractor Fite Building Co. and architect Williams Blackstock Architects. The project is situated within a designated opportunity zone, and OPAL Investments (a for-profit subsidiary of Opportunity Alabama) is the lead equity investor. Capstone and Boaz plan to open Nexus on Holmes in summer 2025.
