Naismith Hall sits on 2.84 acres, totaling 120,000
square feet and was originally built in 1965, with the most recent renovations
completed in 2013.
The student housing also
features community amenities, including a 24-hour fitness center, swimming pool
with sun deck, renovated lounge with games, 24-hour computer lab with printing
available, free on-site tutoring, community kitchen, on-site laundry, on-site
parking and food service at Naismith Hall Café.
New
ownership also plans to execute a significant renovation program and modernize
the student housing asset to premium standards.
Located at 1800 Naismith Dr., the property is
adjacent to the university, providing unparalleled housing opportunities for
students wanting to be just steps away from campus.

Expected growth plans are sparking the demand for student housing near the campus, with enrollment over 27,500 students.
Additionally, the university is recognized as
an R-1 Doctoral Research University, with a strong public research authority,
and its NCAA Division I athletics within the Big 12 Conference is prominently
known, providing ample investment opportunity with a tier one asset for the
buyer.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing
the seller was led by Senior Directors Scott Clifton, Stewart Hayes, Teddy
Leatherman and Executive Vice President Jim Gates.
“Naismith Hall provides
great investment opportunity for the buyer, being prominently positioned within
steps from the renowned University of Kansas,” says Clifton.

“Additionally, the property has various paths
to outsized returns for new ownership, given the promising increased demand for
on-campus student housing in the near future.”
