GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 25,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Belpointe PREP, LLC (NYSE
American: OZ) ("Belpointe OZ" or the "Company"), a publicly traded
qualified opportunity fund, announced today that it has completed
the acquisition of 1750 Storrs Road, Storrs, Connecticut ("1750 Storrs"). 1750 Storrs is a 19-acre development
site located near the University of
Connecticut in Storrs ("UCONN"),
where the Company anticipates building a 120-unit Class A
multifamily mixed-use development. The project is located in a
designated Opportunity Zone and is situated within a 5-minute drive
of the UCONN campus. The development
site is located inside the town's designated mixed-use development
district, commonly known as the Four Corners.
According to the University's official statistics, total
enrollment at UCONN has increased over
14% between 2013 and 2021, to over 31,000 students. The University
expects enrollment to continue to increase over the next few years
as application trends continue to rise, further exacerbating the
current housing issues. UCONN only has
the capacity to house approximately 12,000 students on the
Storrs campus. Affordable
off-campus housing supply is not sufficient to satisfy the
increasing demand.
The 1750 Storrs development will feature approximately 120
one- and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhomes in five
3-story buildings situated on 19 acres of undeveloped land.
Amenities are anticipated to include a clubhouse, with
state-of-the-art fitness center, chef's kitchen and more. The
development will also include approximately 48,000 square feet of
retail and office.
"This investment presents a tremendous opportunity due to the
extreme disparity between student demand and supply of available
housing units," said Brandon Lacoff,
Chief Executive Officer of Belpointe OZ. "We are excited to begin
construction on this development so we can provide desirable rental
housing to the growing student population."
