Student housing complex nears completion

PROMONTORY SET TO OPEN IN THE FALL

Rising to the north of campus is a four-story student housing complex, set to open in August. It's the first new housing build at CSU Monterey Bay is more than a decade.

The Promontory will provide nearly 600 beds configured in 176 units in three buildings and will house sophomores, juniors and seniors, much like the North Quad complex.

It offers single rooms in apartment-style living; each bedroom has its own bathroom. Each unit includes a no-pay washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, stove and refrigerator.

“It filled up very quickly. It was in high demand,” Christine Erickson, CSUMB’s associate vice president of student affairs and dean of students, told the Monterey County Weekly.

The eight-acre site is located at Eighth Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, a short walk to the main campus. A pedestrian and bike pathway will link the Promontory to the campus core.

The developer, AMCAL Equities of Agoura Hills, describes the design as “a modern exterior with varied materials and prominent corners.” Public spaces include a fitness center, a community room, landscaped courtyards, bicycle storage and basketball courts. A parking lot for approximately 330 cars is also included.
