Newest Student Housing Project for USC Students Under Construction


West 27th Place will be located on the corner of 27th street and Figueroa. This will be the first LEED certified housing complex for USC students and will offer over 400 units. Everything from small studio apartments to large four bedroom units will be available. Residents will benefits from many amenities including a saltwater swimming pool, fitness center, game room, computer lab, and most important of all free tanning.
One of this project’s biggest achievements is its gold LEED rating. I spoke about this rating system, which ranks how sustainable a building is, in an earlier post. West 27th Place will offer sustainable transportation options such as easy access to USC’s tram service. Energy efficient materials, draught tolerant plant, efficient irrigation, and recycling systems are also implemented.
Units will range in price from $1550 for a small studio apartment to $1397 per person for a large four-bedroom unit.
