Seminole Financial Services, LLC Provides Financing For Student Housing at Kent State University
Seminole Financial Services, LLC (“Seminole”) announced today the closing of a $5-million investment to purchase and renovate a 280-unit (520 beds), multifamily project adjacent to the campus of Kent State University (“KSU”) known as University Oaks in Kent, Ohio.
Seminole’s investment will enable Capstone Development Corporation (“Capstone”) to renovate the facility, originally constructed in the mid-1960s and previously operated as a 55 and older community for the past three decades. Capstone believes Silver Oak’s location, adjacent to the University, and apartment-style design will be an attractive alternative for KSU upperclassmen and graduate students. Renovations are expected to begin immediately with completion by early August 2012, in time for the Fall 2012 semester at KSU.
Capstone is an award-winning leader in the development of student housing. Capstone has developed housing for over 35,000 students on 57 campuses nationwide.
