That "4+1" or "3+1" (residential floors + commercial floor) design is prolific. This at least has roof line breaks and jut-outs to break up the visual lines. Nobody builds St Peter's Bascillica or the Taj Mahal today. 2 Quote

Rents are in line with other similar units in the market and there is a whole lot of convenience that come with this one. Can't complain about people not investing money and then criticize the prices they need to charge to see appropriate return on their investments. 2 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted February 20 Author Posted February 20 On the other end of the overpass sits The Boden. https://www.thebodenund.com/grand-forks/the-boden/student/ Pricing doesn't seem out of line given the added convenience of MVI (and soon MVII). Quote

I would've paid a couple hundred more, at least, to be that close to campus.... Especially if you would otherwise have to park outside, not having to drive to campus and then find parking during the winter would be a huge game changer. Quote

forksandspoons Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Expensive, yes, but does have a ton of amenities in one place and will be connected to MVII, which will apparently have retail/restaurant options. Internet also included. Quote
FSSD Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I thought that it was nice to carry forward the name of Hyslop with the naming of the building. "Hyslop at Memorial Village" Quote
