Edgemoor/Sunflower Partners is developing the residence under a 99‑year air‑rights lease. The project is funded through a combination of private equity and bank debt, with delivery scheduled for spring 2028.
Strategic context
Axium already has investments in student housing at UMass Amherst, Vanderbilt and Iowa. The Kansas agreement expands its university‑linked portfolio with a new development project. The lease allows private capital to fund new on‑campus housing without requiring the university to borrow for the development.
