New living community Aspen Heights prepared for business through a lease launch for new residents yesterday at Rick’s Café.
Stuart Watkins, representative for Aspen Heights, said Aspen Heights’ location in Starkville is set at 2041 Blackjack Road, behind 21 Apartments.
“We have been researching MSU for years now, and we are very impressed with the positive environment,” Watkins said. “We have received overwhelming reception from students at MSU. I feel this is probably the best lease launch we’ve had.”
Watkins said the new living community plans to have a total of 958 beds differentiating with two, three, four and five-bedroom houses.
“Aspen will contain a 12,000 square foot club house, a gym, movie theatre, 24-hour access gym, tanning salon and study space,” Watkins said. “Aspen will also have a private shuttle that will run to campus and back throughout the day. There will also be a night shuttle on weekends that will transport residents to bars and different locations, for safe trips.”
Scott Sproat, regional sales and marketing manager for Aspen Heights, said the new living community’s doors will open Aug. 9, 2014.
“Starting next week, construction on roads within the new community in Starkville will begin,” Sproat said. “Soon after, we’ll begin laying the concrete for the foundation of the houses to be built. We are really excited about working with MSU and local retailers as we build our houses in the market.”
Mary McCluney, second-year resident of Aspen Heights in Auburn, Ala., said she could not imagine spending the last two years of her college career living anywhere else.
“Aspen Heights will provide you with a living experience that is incomparable to any other property,” McCluney said. “The staff is always eager to help make your experience better, and the houses speak for themselves. If you take a tour of a model home, or even check out the pictures on Aspen Heights’ website, it is clear that the product being sold by Aspen is high-quality.”
McCluney said the constant complaints she hears from her friends about their apartments confirms her appreciation for Aspen Heights.
“From receiving a birthday card signed by the staff each year, getting pizza delivered on move-in day and even little treats just because, I have always felt that the staff at Aspen Heights is genuinely thankful that I am a resident,” she said.
