The Group 96 Project
A Mixed-Use Student Housing Development located within a
Qualified Targeted Employment Area (TEA)
The Project
The Ellis will be a modern high-rise, off-campus, student housing development located at 13th Avenue and Alder Street within the University District, adjacent to the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. As currently envisioned, the Project will feature modern furnishings and desirable amenities including: pool, courtyard, lounge, media room, basketball court, fitness/yoga studio, group and private study rooms, dog run, and roof deck.
The Ellis was designed for Fields Holdings by San Luis Obispo-based Arris Studio Architects, founded in 2008, specializing in historic renovations, affordable and market-rate multi-family communities, commercial
developments, and branded and boutique hospitality projects.
The Ellis
The Project is 0.1 miles (0.16 KM) walking distance to the University of Oregon (“UO”) campus. Founded in 1872, UO is a public flagship research university and is one of the oldest universities on the West Coast. UO remains an incredible value for higher education, as evidenced by its peaking graduation and retention rates.
The Ellis location is also in close proximity to the University of Oregon bus system, providing frequent access to downtown Eugene, remote areas of the University campus, and Autzen Stadium, home of the Oregon
Ducks football team.
PROJECT TIMELINE
Full construction activities are anticipated to commence in Q3 2025. The project is anticipated to reach full completion in Q3 2027.
