PALO VERDE GRADUATE STUDENT HOUSING

Irvine, CA

Designed by JZMK Partners, this 22-acre student housing community redefines campus living with a focus on market-rate quality, sustainability, and community-oriented design. Developed in collaboration with the University, the project delivers high-quality residential environments that rival nearby off-campus housing options.

The program includes multiple residential buildings totaling over 35,000 square feet each, along with a 14,000-square-foot community center and dedicated support facilities. Housing options range from studios to one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes, spanning approximately 400 to 1,270 square feet.

Designed to meet rigorous environmental standards, the project achieved LEED-NC Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, reflecting a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable living.

Spanish-inspired architecture, combined with plazas, bike paths, and outdoor gathering spaces, creates a vibrant, connected campus community.
