Columbia, SC – Subtext, a national student and multifamily real estate company, recently acquired 3.84 acres located at 450 Blossom Street in Columbia, S. C., for the construction of VERVE Columbia.

 The four-story student housing community is located along one of Columbia’s main thoroughfares and is two blocks from the University of South Carolina (USC) campus. Site work is underway and construction will be completed in fall 2026.

 

The 233-unit, 412,959-square-foot student apartment community will offer a mix of studio, one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom layouts, totaling 697 beds.

 Featuring over 16,000 square feet of shared spaces, VERVE Columbia is designed to provide residents with all they need to achieve their personal and academic goals.

 

Amenity highlights include an outdoor sport court, game lounge, content creation studio, study pods, open study and private conference rooms, resort-inspired pool courtyard with cabanas and grilling, and fitness center complete with cardio/strength gym, sauna, meditation rooms, and yoga studio. 

 

Located at the corner of Blossom and Huger Streets, VERVE Columbia will occupy a coveted pedestrian location in the path of planned campus expansion to the west, and is positioned to benefit from increased student density, traffic, and activities.

 

The property is also located across the street from Founders Park, where the USC Gamecocks baseball team plays home games.

 

“We’re excited to expand our portfolio to the University of South Carolina market. With steady enrollment growth over the last 10 years, accelerating in recent years, there is an increased demand for elevated student housing,” said Brandt Stiles, Founding Partner, Subtext.

 

“USC is one of those quintessential college towns, and we have crafted this VERVE community within the context of the local environment—rich in history and tradition, but reimagined for the Gen Z audience.”

 

The VERVE Columbia architecture was designed by Dynamik Design and complemented with interior design by Mary Cook Associates. Other development team partners include W. M. Jordan Company, general contractor; Davis & Floyd, engineer, and CIBC, lender.
