Introducing Old Towne University Square Apartments
Old Towne University Square Apartments in Toledo, OH, is a premier example of luxury student housing. At The Douglas Company, we are proud to have been the general contractor behind this exceptional project. Completed in August 2005, this 220,000-square-foot community was designed to provide the highest standard of student living. The development was undertaken by Edwards Companies, with architectural design by Bird Houk Collaborative. It was a true collaboration of expertise in construction, design, and planning. With a total cost of $14.7 million, Old Towne has become a cornerstone in the University of Toledo campus area.
Despite construction hurdles, Old Towne University Square Apartments was completed on time and to the highest standards of luxury. The community offers fully equipped, modern apartments that provide students with a comfortable, sophisticated living experience. They include high-end finishes, spacious layouts, and a range of amenities designed for student life. The interior spaces are designed to promote both private relaxation and community interaction. Meanwhile, the exterior design blends seamlessly with the urban landscape, featuring a mix of brick, glass, and steel.
The project’s success is a testament to the skill and dedication of everyone involved, from the architects at Bird Houk Collaborative to our team at The Douglas Company. Old Towne University Square continues to serve as a premier housing option for students, blending luxury with convenience in the heart of Toledo.
Construction Challenges and Solutions for Old Towne University Square Apartments
From the outset, the project presented several unique challenges that required innovative solutions. One of the most significant hurdles was the compact, high-density site on which the apartments were built. The urban location, while ideal for student housing, offered limited space for staging and material storage, which could have complicated construction timelines. With such tight conditions, our team at The Douglas Company had to carefully plan and sequence every phase of the construction process, ensuring that logistics were managed efficiently and that the construction site was kept organized and safe.
Another major challenge was the accelerated schedule requested by the owner to ensure that the apartments would be ready for occupancy by the summer semester. This timeline was essential for the university’s students to move in before the start of the academic year, therefore we worked closely with the project team to streamline operations and mitigate any potential delays. This required diligent coordination between subcontractors, suppliers, and the rest of the building team to ensure that every phase of construction proceeded without compromise to quality or safety.
