“We, as well as our market analysts, spent quite a bit of time talking directly with students to learn what was important to them in a living and learning environment,” she continued in a prepared statement. “We’re excited to bring an adult living community to the university housing market.”

Taking part in the venture are Bennett, Benner Partners Architect and Planners of Fort Worth and Waco-based Walker Partners, an engineering firm. Campus Realtors of Waco will serve as the on-site management and leasing firm. Ciera Bank of Fort Worth is providing financing of the multimillion-dollar project.

Eisner Equities said it hopes to meet demand created by growth in recent years.

It said data from a market study “indicated that there is demand for housing at Baylor that is set apart from the typical offering to students there, and which engenders a sense of safety and tranquillity” while providing easy access to campus.

Bell, with Walker Partners, said an aging house used for years by Baylor students was demolished to make room for OPUS 2430.
