Apartment Construction In Champaign-Urbana Continues To Rise, But At What Cost?
I don’t know why it’s so surprising to locals that all of these apartment buildings are being built. The U of I explicitly said they wanted to grow the population of C-U to 250,000 by 2030 based mostly off of increased enrollment.
Developers are just getting ready for that surge. Plus construction costs are cheaper than they will be in 10 years, making building now a reasonable investment.
