U District

The U-District is a public private partnership between The Midby Companies and the Nevada System of Higher Education for the purchase and conversion of an outdated 14 acre garden style apartment community to new on campus apartment style student housing for UNLV.

The new development is expected to take place in three phases spanning almost a decade of continuous development.  At each phase of construction, the remaining existing apartment complex will be renovated and marketed to UNLV student and staff.

The first phase of new construction known as The Degree was completed in May 2019.  The remaining 2 phases known as Legacy LV began renovations in 2016 and were fully converted to student only occupancy in 2018.   Pre-Development for demolition and new construction of Phase 2 is currently underway.
