This project was approved less than a year ago, showcasing unprecedented speed and scope in construction to convert a historic hotel into student housing.
Those who moved in say the luxury of the hotel rooms remains, with spacious bathrooms featuring glass shower doors and marble finishes that give a sense of upscale living.
Assemblymember Ash Kalra emphasized the importance of this initiative, noting it's a model for other regions to create student housing in high-cost urban areas.
The change from a hotel to residential dormitory is substantial, with 700 undergraduate students now able to live in a space once designed for luxury travelers.
