It seems to follow the motif of UND old and new construction design.

I take it you haven't ridden your bike down to Fargo recently.
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.

Unless Nistler has a lecture hall ceiling like this ...

Too bad the brick from Memorial Stadium and the dorms that were tore down couldn't be reused.

At the very least use tan/cream "siding" instead of the  Gray and black

Lots of colors being used

The leasing website makes it seem like the outside is not finished: https://memorial-village.com/

Sort of like the new hospital, doesn’t look appealing at all yet , not sure why all the glass

I won't be applying to live there. Those prices are outrageous. Anyone who can afford that could just as well buy a house.

I promise that you aren't the target demographic.
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.

I pay $800/month for 1100 Square Feet. And no, it isn't a rat-infested crap hole either.

And if they can't fill them at these prices, I won't feel sorry for them.

On the other end of the overpass sits The Boden.

Pricing doesn't seem out of line given the added convenience of MVI (and soon MVII).

Mainly students will live at The Boden. Something I haven't been for almost 24 years.

Would be pretty cool if UND could reserve or rent one or two for assistant coaches.

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.

Who do you think the target demographic for MVI and MVII is, ... old guys like @MafiaMan and @Blackheart?     

[forksandspoons]

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. 

[FSSD]

I thought that it was nice to carry forward the name of Hyslop with the naming of the building.  "Hyslop at Memorial Village"
