Plans for Hub Fullerton, a 1,047-bed student housing complex have been unveiled in Fullerton, California, by Core Spaces. Later this year, the business hopes to start construction on the project alongside partner Amplify Development.
According to Orange County documents, Core Spaces spent $33.3 million on three land lots between March and April. According to the same data source, Prospect Bank offered a $12.6 million acquisition loan with a 2023 maturity date. 2601, 2701, and 2751 E are the addresses.
The California State University at Fullerton campus is close to the facility. Additionally, Titan Sports Complex, Hope International University, and other nearby locations. All are less than half a mile from Chapman Ave., Hub Fullerton. The property will also be close to Chapman Avenue Shopping Center and other food and retail options, which are both located around half a mile away.
Features and amenities
The mixed-use development, which is slated for completion in 2025, will cover 3.6 acres and feature a six-story structure with 377 units that range in size from studios and townhouses to two- to four-bedroom floorplans.

Affordable workforce housing will be reserved for a portion of the apartments. A resident lounge, rooftop deck, swimming pool, yoga, and fitness center, as well as more than 12,000 square feet of retail space, are planned as community facilities.
The project’s general contractor is Milender White, and DLR Group is in charge of the architectural work.
Commentary on the Hub Fullerton student housing complex
Students were considered in the building’s design according to Nathan Casteel, a principal of the project’s designer, DLR Group.
“This building is designed to stand out from other residential structures in the region. This is all thanks to its lush landscaping, extensive outdoor areas, sensitivity to local contextual materials and styles, and a highly amenitized program.
Moreover, the project respects the surrounding area and improves the public domain, making it a project that benefits the neighborhood. The addition of retail to this location would help rejuvenate the campus’ entrance and give its residents a more walkable neighborhood,” explained Casteel.
