Burnham310
From U of I Wiki
Burnham310 will be an 18-story, 259-unit apartment complex owned by Pickus Companies in the Burnham District on the Urbana-Champaign campus. The building's address will be 310 E. Springfield Ave. in Champaign. The complex is under construction. Its official date of completion is unknown.
The landlord's e-mail address is info@burnham310.com and its telephone number is (217) 239-2310.
[edit] Construction delays
The landlord notified future residents on July 11, 2008, that the building would not be completed by the beginning of fall 2008 semester and that they would require temporary housing; the landlord was "hopeful" that the building would be completed by October 31, 2008, about two months after the first day of fall semester instruction.
The landlord is offering rental reimbursements, moving services and living arrangements provided by at least three apartment complexes, none of which are on campus:
- The Village at Colbert Park, 812 S. Sixth St. in Champaign
- 88 West, 2001 N. Moreland Blvd. in Champaign
- Indigo Place, 117 Sterling Court in Savoy
Whether University Group, 309 S. First St. in Champaign, an on-campus apartment complex, will offer two-month leases is unclear. Reportedly, some students have been able to break their leasing contracts, depending on the "version" of the contract the lessee or lessees signed.
[edit] Location
The site is on the corner of Third Street and Springfield Avenue, which was the former location of the Burnham Hospital. The hospital had been vacant for a number of years before its recent demolition.
The site of Burnham310 and the adjacent six acres is scheduled to compose Burnham District, which will sit north of Campustown and east of downtown Champaign. A 28,000-square-foot County Market grocery store will be constructed next to Burnham310.
The complex claims to be more than just a building but "about a lifestyle" and "offer all the amenities for an urban lifestyle."
