On Monday, Sept 30, 2024 the RISE development team, joined by partners from Michigan Technological University, Niles Bolton Associates, and Walbridge Construction, celebrated a major milestone at our Public-Private Partnership (P3) on-campus student housing development in Houghton, MI this week.

Lunch for all the workers and subcontractors was provided by RISE during a ceremony to recognize reaching the 50% completion point of this exciting project.

This project is the culmination of a highly collaborative process between Michigan Technological University and RISE that commenced in March 2023 following a nationally competitive procurement process. Following a fast-track development, design and financing process, the new community broke ground in October 2023 and will be completed in advance of the Fall 2025 semester. With a focus on modern and sustainable features, the design and architecture of the new community features a vibrant and eco-friendly living space. The project, aligned with Michigan Tech’s focus on responsible environmental design is on track for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certification.
