ORLANDO, Fla. - [July 27, 2026] - American Campus Communities (ACC), one of the nation's largest student housing providers and a Blackstone portfolio company, today unveiled a first look at Crest on University, its newest purpose-built student housing community near the University of Central Florida (UCF), and announced that leasing is now open for prospective residents.



Scheduled to welcome residents for the Fall 2027 academic year, Crest on University will deliver 898 beds in a thoughtfully designed community featuring fully furnished apartment homes, academic-focused amenities and wellness-focused spaces just minutes from campus.

Located along University Boulevard near UCF's main entrance and adjacent to ACC's Plaza on University community, Crest on University is designed to support how today's students live, study, recharge and connect. Newly released renderings showcase modern interiors, collaborative study environments, vibrant social spaces and resort-inspired outdoor amenities designed to create an elevated student living experience.

"Crest on University reflects ACC's continued focus on delivering purpose-built communities that support how today's students live, study and connect," said James Wilhelm, chief development officer at American Campus Communities. "With a fortress location adjacent to UCF's campus and a thoughtful mix of academic, wellness and social spaces, Crest is designed to meet strong student demand while enhancing the overall residential experience."

The community will offer a variety of floor plans designed specifically for UCF students, including studio, one-, two-, four- and five-bedroom apartment options to accommodate a range of lifestyles and living preferences.

Residents will have access to a wide range of amenities designed to support every aspect of the student experience, including:

• An Academic Success Center and dedicated study and collaboration spaces
• Hospitality-inspired clubrooms and resident lounges
• Modern fitness and wellness facilities
• Landscaped courtyards and outdoor gathering spaces
• Resort-style pool and spa
• Outdoor kitchens, fire pits and recreational areas
• Convenient access to campus and nearby retail, dining and entertainment

With nearly 70,000 students systemwide, the University of Central Florida is one of the nation's largest universities.
