Construction is underway for the newest addition to Chandler Crossings — The Rocks.

Chandler Crossings Regional Manager Adam Martin said the new apartment complex offers new amenities for students interested in living off campus.

“The Rocks is different to The Landings and The Village because these have hard wood floors and granite countertops, and the third floors have vaulted ceilings, so it’s a brand-new product,” Martin said.

The apartments are available in sizes from one to four bedrooms.

Martin, who called the new complex “more luxurious,” said these new apartments will have more square footage than the established complexes in the area. The development reflects a trend, both in East Lansing and nationally, toward higher-end student housing.

Martin said although the lease prices for the apartment complex range from $660 to $1,060 a month, he is not worried about demand. The one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are sold out, Martin said.

“We still provide you with the free CATA bus pass as well,” Martin said.

The construction of the eight-building apartment complex is being completed by Grand Rapids–based construction firm Wolverine Building Group.

“We are in charge of building the buildings from foundation to a finished unit. The owner is doing the side-work, landscaping and appliances under their own control,” Wolverine Building Group Project Manager Jamerson Ries said.

Ries said the company started working on the project Oct. 22 and expects to finish by the end of July.

The new apartment project is located on Chandler Road past West Lake Lansing Road, just south from The Club, The Village and The Landings — all Chandler Crossings apartment complexes.

“We will open on Aug. 22, like everyone else — just like Chandler Crossings,” Martin said.

The Rocks will have three outdoor swimming pools, one heated indoor pool, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts and an indoor theater.

The cost of the project has not being disclosed yet, Martin said.
