\"Cambridge<\/a>TYLER \u2013 When students at the University of Texas at Tyler come back to school this fall, they will see some major changes at one off-campus student housing community. Cambridge at Tyler is undergoing major improvements and will be re-branded as \u201cVillage At The U,\u201d according to the property owner and manager. It’s largely an effort to address crime problems at the complex, which had come to be known as “Crimebridge” by many. The 588-bed student housing community is located directly across the street from campus at 3088 Old Omen Road. <\/p>\n

The new property owner, led by Emet Capital Management, who purchased the community in December 2012 made the decision to spend more than $1 million on improvements to the community and to undertake a complete brand transformation.<\/p>\n

According to a news release, along with amenity upgrades to the clubhouse and living units, major safety improvements will be added to Village At The U, including unit and individual bedroom security alarms as well as enhanced security gates, fencing, and high-resolution cameras. Students will also experience a variety of new resident activities and events starting this fall. Additionally, starting June 1, students who apply to live at Village At The U must have a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are investing over a million dollars into Village At The U to make these renovations and safety improvements in order to revitalize the project and as a direct response to feedback from students and the University,\u201d said Paul Siegel, managing principal of Emet Capital Management. \u201cWe are anxious to fix the existing issues\u2026this community should be the premier off-campus living destination for University of Texas at Tyler students, and we intend to make it their top choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction is already underway in order to finish the vast majority of improvements to Village At The U by the end of the summer. A full unveiling of community upgrades will be released in conjunction with the University\u2019s new student orientation on June 13. Village At The U will be managed by Asset Campus Housing (ACH), the largest privately-owned student housing company in the nation, with a portfolio of more than 100 properties totaling over 55,000 beds. The community is independently owned and is not affiliated or associated with The University of Texas at Tyler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
