McCarthy Breaks Ground on Housing for UC Riverside, City College Students
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. broke ground on the $285-million, 424,000 square-foot North District Phase 2 Student Housing Development at University of California, Riverside (UCR). This intersegmental project, among the first of its kind in California, will house students from UCR and Riverside Community College District.
The recent surge in enrollment at both UCR and RCCD colleges has created a substantial disparity between housing demand and available options. This project aims to address the current housing shortage.
“The McCarthy team is proud to be part of this revolutionary project, which helps bridge the gap between larger universities and community colleges,” said VP Sarah Carr at McCarthy. “This housing development will provide affordable options that will enhance graduation rates not only for UCR students, but for Riverside City College students as well – a benefit to the entire community.”
The first move-ins are expected in 2025.
