ACC Opens 825-Bed Student Housing Community Near Northeastern

American Campus Communities (ACC), in partnership with Northeastern University, has opened LightView, an 825-bed student housing community in Boston.

Located at 744 Columbus Ave., the 20-story development was designed by CUBE 3 and Elkus Manfredi Architects, and consists of a mix of 825 shared or private four-bedroom units. Amenities include a fitness center, multiple lounges, a 24-hour academic success center and 2,000 square feet of retail.

“As the very first developer-led, equity financed student housing project in the city of Boston, we are grateful to Northeastern and the City for choosing us to be their trusted partner to deliver on what we do best, providing a community where students love living,” said Bill Bayless, CEO of American Campus Communities. “This winning partnership between Northeastern, the City and ACC has resulted in providing this year’s incoming students and those for years to come with our best living-learning community to date.”
