OXFORD, MS, Sept. 25, 2012 – Community officials, developers
and leaders from the student housing industry gathered this morning at a
groundbreaking ceremony for a new student housing project at The University of Mississippi (top left photo) in Oxford,
Miss.
The occasion also marked the official unveiling of the development’s
name, Highland Square. Officials say
the name stemmed from Oxford’s historic town square, which exudes the character
and southern charm that Ole Miss students have enjoyed for years.
“Oxford and the University of Mississippi pride themselves
on the rich heritage and vibrancy of their community,” said Andy Feinour, senior vice president of
Carter. “We wanted to reflect that not only in the name we chose for the
property but also in the way we designed it – to instill a town square type of
feel to the community’s common areas.”
Carter and Chance Partners will serve as developers of the
new $40 million, 753-bed student housing project that is located less than two
miles from the University of Mississippi campus.
Construction is
expected to be complete by July 2013. Highland Square is currently accepting
leases for fall 2013. More information on the community may be found at www.livehighlandsquare.com
