SACRAMENTO, Calif. (June 11, 2019) – Sundt Construction, Inc. (www.sundt.com) broke ground last week on Hornet Commons, a new student housing complex on the campus of California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). 
The 365,000-square-foot complex will house 284 apartments and 1,100 beds in six four-story buildings on the 11.5-acre site, which is located on the previous home of the Dan McAuliffe Memorial Ballparks. The new student housing project will include a swimming pool and a communal building, which will contain a cafe, fitness center and community room.
“Our company thrives in a team environment where we can be an integral part of a project’s success,” said Sean Falvey, Sundt senior project manager. “This housing complex gives us the opportunity to do just that.”
The project is a public-private partnership (P3) between University Enterprises Inc. (UEI), CSUS’s authorized commercial-services auxiliary, and Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC. The site is being incorporated into the campus as part of a land swap and once finished, will increase the number of beds on campus by over 33%.
The groundbreaking celebration included representatives from Sundt, CSUS, Greystar and architecture firm Steinberg Hart. The project is expected to be completed for the fall 2021 semester.
Sundt has over 70 years of diverse project experience throughout the state of California. The company has offices in Sacramento, Irvine and San Diego. Sundt is currently building several projects in the region, including the Ernest E. Tschannen Science Complex on the Sacramento State University campus, the Hilton Garden Inn in Sunnyvale, as well as the new Shasta County Courthouse in Redding.
